Heaven (Part 2)ნიმუში

The Angels Cry

Heaven’s worship is a scene of unimaginable glory and awe. I love worship. As both a musician and singer, it's something I've always been passionate about. Heaven's worship is on another level! It’s not about earthly music or rituals; it’s the unending declaration of God’s holiness. The angels cry, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory' (Isaiah 6:3 NIV). It’s a response to the overwhelming splendour of His presence.

The book of Revelation paints this picture: 'And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb"' (Revelation 7:10 NIV). It’s a worship that is pure, eternal, and unfaltering.

This powerful image is echoed in the song 'A Thousand Generations – And the Angels Cry Holy'. Its lyrics invite us to join the heavenly chorus, lifting our hearts in worship. Listening to it can inspire us to reflect on the magnitude of God’s glory.

Heavenly worship is anchored in truth. As Jesus said, 'God is spirit, and His worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth' (John 4:24 NIVUK). In Heaven, there’s no room for distraction or weariness, only the fullness of God’s presence, drawing every being into perfect worship.

On Earth, worship can sometimes feel routine or distracted. But as we think about the angels’ cry, we’re reminded that true worship is centered on who God is, not how we feel. It’s an offering of awe for His majesty, love, and eternal goodness.

As I reflect on my journey with God, I can’t help but think about how worship and evangelism often go hand in hand. My mother's worship was a powerful testimony during my upbringing. It was not just words or songs; it was her joy and transformed life that impacted me deeply. Despite tough circumstances, her love for God shone brightly, especially after she and my sister came to faith.

I still remember the night they returned from church, singing a song of their salvation: 'I am a new creation, no more in condemnation, here in the grace of God I stand...'

Their worship wasn’t confined to the church; it spilled into the streets, into our home, and into my heart. Though I initially felt embarrassed, I couldn’t deny the joy and transformation I saw. It was infectious. Before long, their worship became a catalyst for my own encounter with God.

Their example reminds us of the power of worship to draw others to Jesus. When we worship with sincerity, we reflect His glory, and those around us can’t help but notice.

Reflect

• How can you make your worship more focused on God’s greatness rather than personal distractions?
• When your heart feels distant, how can the example of heavenly worship draw you closer to God?
• Meditate on the angels’ cry: 'Holy, holy, holy.' How does it shape your view of God today?

Pray

Lord God, I join with the angels in worship that declares Your glory and majesty. Let my praise be true and Spirit-led, reflecting Your light to those around me. I pray my life will sing of Your grace, drawing others to know and worship You. Amen.
