They do not rest day or night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! Revelation 4:8
Time flies when youre having fun. This cliché has no basis in fact, but experience makes it seem true.
When life is pleasant, time passes all too quickly. Give me a task that I enjoy, or a person whose company I love, and time seems irrelevant.
My experience of this reality has given me a new understanding of the scene described in Revelation 4. In the past, when I considered the four living creatures seated around Gods throne who keep repeating the same few words, I thought, What a boring existence!
I dont think that anymore. I think about the scenes they have witnessed with their many eyes (v.8). I consider the view they have from their position around Gods throne (v.6). I think of how amazed they are at Gods wise and loving involvement with wayward earthlings. Then I think, What better response could there be? What else is there to say but, Holy, holy, holy?
Is it boring to say the same words over and over? Not when youre in the presence of the one you love. Not when youre doing exactly what you were designed to do.
Like the four creatures, we were designed to glorify God. Our lives will never be boring if were focusing our attention on Him and fulfilling that purpose.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Rain clouds still threatening, but nary a drop yet.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
