Read Revelation 5:11-14 on biblegateway.com
Verse 11Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, Verse 12singing with full voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" Verse 13Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, singing, "To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" Verse 14And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And the elders fell down and worshiped.
Devotion
Remember a time you sang with a crowd at a youth gathering or a festive worship service. Recall how the sound of the many voices washed over you like a wave, rising and dipping, lifting and carrying your own small voice up into that larger harmony. In Advent no one sings alone.
Prayer
Holy God, join my small voice to the great chorus of angels and living creatures and the heavenly ranks of elders. Tune my heart to sing your praise. Amen.
