the choir of Heaven and Earth

Revelation 19:1 After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting,
   "Praise the Lord!
      Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.

There is a way for us to connect with Heaven even while we are still walking on Earth.  There is a Heavenly choir that continually praises God for His power and glory and salvation.  We are not yet directly in God's presence.  Like soldiers who are deployed to the front lines of a great war, we are still in the trenches and the foxholes and the battle lines of a conflict that rages over this Creation.  But we experience all the great qualities and realities of the God of Heaven.  In the midst of trials and stumbling and through the limitations of these natural bodies we have known His presence and His deliverance and His salvation.  And so, like the Heavenly choir, made of saints who have passed to Heaven and of angels who always surround the throne we share the very same song of worship.  How wonderful that we can be one with those who walk directly before God in Heaven as we acknowledge Him now for all He is.  For He is the God who has ruled from the beginning...in the Now of today and in the future of all tomorrows!  I hope you will join this choir of praise!
