“Our Lord and God, you are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because you have created all things, and by your will they exist and were created.” (v. 11)

To declare a thing “worthy” means you assign it worth. It’s a value statement. That which is worthy is worth something.

So…where does all of heaven assign value? What, in the eyes of the unseen realm, has worth?

The Lord, our God.

This is the cry of angels and elders and everything around God’s throne: “You are worthy!” Whatever it is that they can ascribe to Him—glory and honor and strength—is a testimony of His worth-ship. You can hear it in that very idea, can’t you? Heaven is entirely captivated in worship, because of Holy God’s ultimate worth.

Can the same be said of us here, now? Or do we keep giving too much value to less worthy things?

Since our day around that throne is still in an unknown future, may we learn to get worship right on earth, and may we begin to sing now what we will sing forever:

“You are worthy!”
