Discovering the Matchless Majesty of God
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is that little lamb which having been slain to have received that power, and wealth, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and dignity, and blessing.”
— Revelation 5:12 (2020 New Testament)
We live in a world filled with applause. Likes, shares, awards, honors—we celebrate success and elevate greatness. Whether it’s a leader, artist, athlete, or influencer, we’re constantly told who’s “worthy” of our time, attention, or admiration.
But as the noise of praise rises all around us, something inside us must ask: Who is truly worthy? Who is eternally worthy?
In heaven, there is no confusion. There is no debate. There is only One seated on the throne, and only One declared worthy to receive all glory and praise.
And it’s not us.
It’s not any human.
It is Jesus the Messiah—the Only Worthy One.
Devotional Insight
In Revelation 5, John has a vision of the throne room of heaven. A scroll—representing the unfolding of God’s plan—is sealed, and no one is found worthy to open it. John weeps… until a Lamb appears. Slain, yet standing.
And then heaven erupts with worship.
Why? Because the Lamb—Jesus the Messiah—is worthy. Not for His strength, but for His sacrifice. Not for His fame, but for His faithfulness. Worthy because He gave His life. Worthy because He overcame. Worthy because He alone fulfilled what no one else could.
When we encounter His worthiness, we stop comparing ourselves to others and start bowing in awe. We stop chasing our own thrones and start laying down our crowns.
Worship isn’t just singing—it’s surrendering. Because only One is worthy of it all.
Reflection Question
Who or what are you placing on the throne of your heart right now?
Is your worship focused on the Only One who is worthy?
Prayer Prompt
Dear Jesus, You are the Lamb who was slain. You alone are worthy of my praise, my time, my attention, my life. Forgive me for elevating anything or anyone above You. I lay down every crown, every idol, every distraction. Be glorified within and through me. You are the Only Worthy One. Amen.
