Sing Into Your Storm
You were not only created for praise, but ordained for it! So when did this registration of names take place? The Bible says that The Lamb’s Book of Life, in which your name was recorded was:
“ Written before the foundation of the world… of T he Lamb who has been slain.” (Revelation 13:8)
If we understand the Word of God correctly, then you were recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life somewhere before God laid the foundations of the earth! How amazing! But the recording of your name goes even much further than just in His Book… The Lord has even registered you upon Himself!
“ See, I have inscribed (engraved) you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.” (Isaiah 49:16)
You might ask is this speaking of me ? Does this refer to me personally? The Word of God teaches us that:
“I f you were “ Buried with Him in baptism; you were also raised with Him through faith through the working of God.” (Colossians 2:12),
“ And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus …” (Ephesians 2:6)
In both instances the word “ raised ” is past tense, meaning th at the act has already happened! What is our purpose in being elevated to this place? You were created for worship! You have a participatory place before the Throne of God! There are no spectators in Heaven just doing their own thing…
You have a rightful and purposeful place right now before the Throne of God. Not as a spectator, but rather as the Redeemed
