Getting to Know Jesus by Name #53: Lord God Almighty

Revelation 4:8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
    who was and is and is to come!”
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
    and by your will they existed and were created.”

As John was receiving His revelation from God, He saw the Lamb on the Throne, but He also heard the angels testify: “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty." As we saw yesterday, the Lord is "one having power and authority over others; a ruler by hereditary right or preeminence to whom service and obedience are due." God, as we have seen before, is: "A being that has great power, strength, knowledge; the Being perfect in power, wisdom and goodness, who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe; a person or thing of great value." and Almighty means: " Having absolute power over all; relatively unlimited in power or importance.  When we put them all together we find that Jesus is Lord of all and worthy of our praise, obedience and service."* May we live our lives today in such a way that we can do what we are doing and sing this song of praise consistently: "Holy, Holy Holy are You, Lord God Almighty."
