TOPIC: Worship God (DCLM Daily Manna 31 October 2025)
KEY VERSE: “The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” (Revelation 4:10,11).
TEXT: Revelation 4:1-11 (KJV)
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Eric Liddell, a devout Christian and Scottish athlete, famously demonstrated his commitment to God above all else during the 1924 Paris Olympics. Despite being favoured to win the 100 meters, Liddell refused to compete because the heats were scheduled on a Sunday, a day he dedicated to worship and rest. Instead, he competed in the 400 meters, a race for which he was not the favourite.
Liddell won the gold medal, breaking the existing Olympic and world records. His unwavering faith and the decision to honour God over personal glory exemplified the true worship of the glorious King. They served as an inspiration for contemporary Christians to prioritise God above other things. Our passage draws attention to God’s excellence and majestic awesomeness, who deserves our reverential worship all the time, even beyond the outward act demonstrated by Eric Liddell. Five things that are bound up in the act and demonstration of true worship come to focus here: the vision of the glorious and holy God sitting on the throne in heaven, the vision of the twenty-four elders (representing the raptured church) seated on twenty-four thrones round the throne of the Almighty God whose appearance was like a jasper and a sardine stone. The seven spirits of God describe the fulness and completeness of the Holy Spirit, the third Person in the Godhead. Then, there is the vision of four living creatures around the throne, portraying the importance of worshipping God by all the hosts of heaven.
Unarguably, God only deserves our worship and adoration. To Him indeed belongs all the glory, honour, and power, for He has created all things for His pleasure. We notice the imagery of purity circumscribing and embellishing this glorious scenario both in the clothing and attitude of these heavenly hosts. The white clothing of the 24 elders signifies the righteousness of saints. Those qualified to reign in heaven with Christ and participate in this glorious worship obligation must be blameless and purified from all corruption. Holiness is a most significant nature and attribute of the triune God. All who desire and hope to spend eternity with God in heaven must possess this gracious purity through genuine salvation from sins and sanctification or circumcision of the heart. It is the holiness without which no one can see God.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Saints in heaven have only one preoccupation: worshipping God.
