Worthy
“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 … And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is WORTHY to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? … And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art WORTHY to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation … Saying with a loud voice, WORTHY is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” (Revelation 4:11; 5:2, 9, 12).
Yes, He is indeed the WORTHY one, and in a coming day of glory He will have His full place and praise.
However, He does want that response from our hearts now, and as we consider His person and work, on this another “first day of the week” (Acts 20:7), it will produce the worship and praise that He is WORTHY of. We will be like King David, who declared, “I will call upon the Lord, who is WORTHY to be praised” (Psalm 18:3).
