lay down your crown

revelation 4
8. each of the four living creatures had six wings, and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
holy, holy, holy is the lord God almighty was and is and is to come.
9. whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever,
10. the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11. you are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
i believe that when God reveled this vision to the apostle john there was obviously a motive behind it. and i don't believe that it was to just show us a glimpse of what heaven is going to be like. but yet what our daily lives should be like.
think about it. at all times there at the VERY least 30 things praising God. no stop. in verse 8 it says "day and night they NEVER stop saying." i wonder what our lives would be like if we united together and throughout whole day just praised God. in everything we did. in everything we say. we thanked him. we cried holy holy holy.
if we would just lay down our crown. our carnal and worldly possessions and praised God. would we change our situation? would we change our world? would the world know about our saviour? yes. yes. yes.
