The Five Ships of Opportunity: Worship You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power. Revelation 4:11 Worship is Gods way of giving us an opportunity to shift our focus from our own concerns, problems, and circumstances to the way things are in heaven. Constant worship is happening right now around the throne in New Jerusalem. Angels are praising. Choirs are singing. Lightning is flashing. Thunder is rolling. Saints are rejoicing. Citizens of heaven -- both saints and angels -- are coming and going in a constant procession up and down the golden streets, to and from the throne of God. As we read Revelation 4 and 5, were peering through an open scriptural door into the heart of the Celestial City, glimpsing a worship service now in progress in heaven. The scene is described in Revelation 4:6: Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. All around the throne the song is rising: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! (Revelation 4:8) One day well be part of that heavenly choir, but for now we still have the opportunity of joining in -- whenever we board the ship of worship. Join in a song with sweet accord, and thus surround the throne. Isaac Watts
