“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” Revelation 4:11
As the living creatures are worshipping God, so are the elders. They continually, day and night, state this verse about God being worthy.
They first state that He is worthy to receive glory. This glory is the fame and recognition of who He is and what He has done. No one in all of history can state that they have created everything by their will and word. Only God has the position.
You have your being because God has willed you to have it. Give God the glory for your existence by telling others about Him and what He has done for you.
Next, they give God honor. This is placing high value on God. It is lifting Him up by telling of what He has done and giving Him that high position that no one else can take.
Think about how valuable God is to you. Some will say that He has nothing to do with them. According to the Scriptures the only reason you exist is because of God. Are you enjoying life? Do you want to be alive? If so, than honor God, because without Him you would not have any life at all.
Finally they give God all power. God created everything you see. How much power does it take to do that? Man cannot create anything from nothing, but that is exactly what God did. He deserves the power.
You may recognize that God has the power of creation, but have you given God the power over your life? Have you given God the ability to choose what you do or do not do?
Many people have no problems with God have power in creation, but they do have problems with Him having power in their life. They want to be like the prophets of the Bible, but do not want to lose the control of their life.
Give God all control in your life. He is worthy of it.
Today give God all the glory, honor and power in and for everything in your life. He earned this position by being God and creating everything there is.
I pray today that you will give God the glory due Him; that you will give God the honor due Him; that you will give God the power due Him; that you will allow yourself to be completely controlled by God; that God will reveal more of Himself to you; and that God will use you to build His kingdom.
