I got a revelation last night during our worship time at The Well. I was reading Revelations 4,5 out loud to those there... in ch 5 there is a call for someone to open the seal, John began to weep and weep because no one was found who was worthy to open the seal! But an elder came and said, ...
"Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."
... Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
And they sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth."

When I read the part - And they sang a new song... I realized they were simply singing what they saw! And I realized in that moment that this is the very best way for us to live! Jesus said it first in John 5:19... Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

As I said, this has got to be the best way for us to live!! When we sing, when we pray when we do a good deed... anything and everything we do needs to be because we first have seen our Father do it...

Kingdom Come, Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven :o)
