The Bible teaches that heaven contains the throne of God. But his throne is not a piece of

furniture. The throne of God is far more majestic, far more glorious than our

finite minds can imagine. Today on Insight for Living Chuck Windall is teaching from

Revelation chapter 4. In this passage we're given a glimpse of heaven. As we

explore this imagery together it'll fuel our excitement for the place that God is preparing for those who love him.

But even more so, it'll focus our attention on the one who is seated on the throne.

Our father, we sit before you.

Our father, we sit before you in quietness and in awesome awareness that your angels witness

our worship as they learn from the redeemed.

For when we tell our story, they will fold their wings,

for angels never felt the joy that our salvation brings.

Though not winged, our father, we are worshippers nevertheless.

And though we have only a pair of eyes and are surrounded by the unseen

host who never miss a thing.

We do pause acknowledging your right to rule over us.

This is about your pleasure and not ours. This is about your plan, not ours. This is about your plan, not ours.

It is not about our health or happiness.

It is not about our selfish dreams and desires,

though we are consumed by them at times. This is about you and this world

is about your plan and what pleases you. And when we see life from that person what a difference

difference it makes, our father.

Thank you for revealing in these many chapters of this magnificent, in some ways
