All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.

Ephesians 1:3 (NLT)

 

I underestimate, Lord,

what you have blessed me with

 

I fail to realize that

out of Your immense love and grace

 

You have blessed my spirit

from heaven

 

Everything that can touch

the spiritual part of me

 

everything that heaven enjoys

is mine here on fallen earth

 

I try to wrap my head

around that

 

And I realize

that I’ve not tapped into Your favor

enough

 

I have not begun to grasp

my spiritual blessings

 

I have not been filled

to all the fullness

 

And I long for more

 

I can never get enough

of You, my Lord

 

I imagine that is why

everyone surrounds your throne in heaven

 

shouting “Holy, holy, holy…”

never having enough praise

 

because the spiritual blessings

are found in You

 

in who You are

 

and I am leveled with the fresh thought

that YOU live in my heart

 

I can’t help but have every spiritual blessing

from heaven

right here on earth

 

because it is all about You

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

– Ephesians 3:19 (NLT)

 

The One sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled His throne like a rainbow Twenty-four thrones surrounded Him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. And in front of the throne were seven torches with burning flames. This is the sevenfold Spirit of God. In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal.

In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes, front and back. The first of these living beings was like a lion; the second was like an ox; the third had a human face; and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying,

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—
the One who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”

– Revelation 4:3-8 (NLT)

 

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”

– Revelation 5:11-13 (NIV)
