Revelation 19:5
Comments
The voice coming from the throne is God’s voice. He commands what is our greatest joy and our greatest privilege. Though worship may have been sluggish on earth at times, all reluctance and coldness of heart is gone once we are in heaven. God rightly commands worship of his creatures. No mind that is capable of knowing him and yet fails to give him due praise, is upright. Like a great star he makes the planets around him obey the force of gravity and align themselves in orbit around his glory. Each has its place, great and small and the orbit of each is determined by their recognition of his greatness.
Application
‘All ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great’ – that is not two different groups of people, but the same group considered in two different ways. They are his servants, and they revere him – two things that we keep in balance here in this life. Some people revere the Lord and they love him and worship him, but they don't do anything for him. They are not necessarily at his disposal; they don't necessarily witness; they’re not necessarily zealous in service. That’s a shame. Some people get it the other way round. They are very zealous and very active, but do they love him enough, and revere him enough? Both are in balance here.
