WORTHY IS THE LAMB!!! Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and You have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth." (Rev. 5:8-10) On the ground of our own goodness, we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. But Jesus is worthy, and for His sake we may have our prayers answered. There is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for God to give Him. HE IS WORTHY. He is the spotless, holy Child, who who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of God. And if we hide in Him, if we put Him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on Him and plead His name, we may expect to have our prayers answered. (George Mueller) PRAY ABOUT IT: Never approach God on the grounds of your own righteousness or need. Our access to God is dependent totally on the work of Christ. In Him, and in no other, we have access. There are many religions that practice prayer, but their prayers are largely dependent on their good works or sacrifices for God. As such their prayers are void. There is no other name by which man may be saved than that of Jesus Christ, and there is no other ground upon which we may offer our prayer than that of Jesus Christ. Today, reflect on the worthiness of Christ, both for God's approval and for our adoration. In the name of Jesus, my Master, I ask you, have you forsaken all your own righteousness? You have heard the salvation is not of works. Are you completely divorced from your own righteousness? Then . . . look up to heaven, and say, Father, I forsake all for Christ.
