Thank you, brother.
Good evening, and again, happy Father’s Day to all the dads. Good to be with you this evening. We’re going to be in Revelation chapter 11, continuing on in Revelation. Revelation chapter 11, verses 15 to 19.
If you want to turn there with me in your Bibles, Revelation chapter 11, verses 15 to 19.
Let me read it for us. It says,
The elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshipped God, saying, We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was. For you have taken your great power and begun to reign. The nations raged, but your wrath came in the time for the dead to be judged and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great. And for destroying the destroyers of the earth. Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and earthquake, and heavy hail.
Darcy and I are working our way through the Lord of the Rings movies. So she…
She watched the first one. And of course, she wants to know everything about the second one. I’m not going to tell you because it would ruin the second one. So we’ve watched the second one. And now she’s begging me to know details about the third one. But as we all know, you ruin a movie if you give away all of its best parts beforehand. It’s deflating. For me, it’s like when I see a movie and then I know… I know that there’s a book. It’s like, I don’t have a lot of motivation to read the book because I kind of got the gist of it. And the movie, maybe you’re not as lazy as me on reading. I wish I was a better reader. But there’s something about what’s the ending going to be like. And it keeps us paying attention. You know, we want to know what the end is. The Bible does the opposite thing in Revelation. It tells us the end. It tells us the end. And not only tells us the end once, it tells us the end a million times. It’s a glory. Glorious and great end to the whole story. And that’s why we’re in the book of Revelation, isn’t it? It’s to see how God is going to bring a great and glorious end to His story. Why does God tell us the end? Why does God tell us the end?
Verse 15. It says, The seventh angel blew his trumpet and there were loud voices in heaven. Saying,
Now, remember where we are in the book. We’re at the seventh trumpet. So remember the first six trumpets. Those were not for believers. Remember the believers on earth at this time are sealed. And so all that God unleashes on the unbelieving world is experienced in those terrible plagues that we worked through several weeks ago. So when we come to the seventh trumpet, you would think, oh, this is going to be a really big one. But it’s not. In the same way, when Jesus broke the sixth seal, it was only the continuation of the story. So the seventh seal being broken gave us the trumpets. And now the seventh trumpet blowing, it only gives us the rest of the book. It gives us the bold judgments that are to come. But what happens now that the seventh trumpet is blown is not that in we get the suspension of the story of revelation. And John gets this heavenly, glorious vision, this doxological vision of of the heavenly host worshiping God. That’s that’s what he gets here before the continuation of the story.
And what this passage is for us, I want you to see is a call to faith. It’s a call to believe because this heavenly vision that John is seeing is not current. I’m going to remind you one of our big words that we’ve been learning in Revelation. The word’s proleptic. You remember what proleptic means? It means something that’s being shown. It has not happened yet. Yet the surety of it happening means you can go ahead and act like it already has. It’s something that you’re so sure is going to happen in the future. You can go ahead and live and believe like it’s already happened. So John’s being shown something that will be. And what will be what we what are we seeing here is that the heavenly host declare that Jesus makes the kingdom of the world. His kingdom. He pushes back darkness completely and it says he’ll reign forever and ever. And you go, well, well, the story’s ruined. The story’s ruined, isn’t it? No, because this story, you can’t hear the ending enough. In fact, I want to say to you, we have to keep hearing the ending because of our weak faith. I want to say it’s a great grace from God to us to be reminded time and again. This is how the story ends. This is how the story ends. Otherwise, we’d be like, turn the TV off. I can’t watch the rest of that. It’s too much. And it is too much for you and I, isn’t it? The Christian life is is is hard and it’s difficult and the enemy is strong and the pressures of following Christ are great. So Jesus is kind to say, look, this is the ending. And really, it’s a grace God’s been giving to us all along, all the way back in Daniel’s prophecies. It says in Daniel two forty four. In the days of those of those kings, God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end. And it shall stand forever there. Daniel’s people are in Daniel’s time. They don’t have to worry. God said it. Says it again, Zechariah 14, and the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day, the Lord will be one in his name. One. There. God says it again. It’s really practical in Proverbs, even Proverbs 21. It says the king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord. He turns it wherever you will. So God says, even if you want to take it wisdom, whatever is happening, it’s happening because God’s hand is letting it happen the way it’s happening. God’s plans playing out. And in fact, this is cool. If you see it, God actually told us the very end. In the very beginning, when the serpent tempted Adam and Eve, when it seemed like everything was lost. Genesis 3, 14, 15. The Lord God said to the serpent, because you have done this, cursed are you above all life, softened above all beasts of the field. On your belly you shall go, and on dust you shall eat all that is your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your offspring. We can go ahead and say, ultimately in Revelation, the Antichrist and her offspring, Jesus. Jesus. He, Jesus, shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. And that’s talking about what the cross. So God gave us the end, even in the beginning.
Your faith needs it. My faith needs it. God is the God who declares the end from the beginning. And that’s something that requires faith. Even though these passages. It’s a matter of faith to believe it. There’s a popular atheist out. I was watching a video, a debate with him with Mr. Richard this past week. And I was watching some other videos of the guys named Sam Harris. But he stood up and basically said he is tired and exhausted of logical, intellectual thinking people who believe that there’s a God. He said, all you need do is look at the world and see everything that’s going wrong and everything that’s broken. And there you can conclude there is no God. Friends, we have to have faith to believe this is God’s story, right? It’s happening the way God wants it to happen. Not in the way you and I would imagine it would happen. But it’s happening according to God’s wisdom. And it’s happening according to God’s power. This picture says Jesus will reign. It says forever and ever. In verse 15.
It’s a picture when Jesus becomes the king of all the earth. So for you and I to really worship God, we have to believe that. Because if you don’t believe that, you’re not going to worship God. So I believe Jesus, even though things seem opposite at times. I’m believing this picture is going to play out someday. So I’m going to worship you for it. But worship, I think, is not so general. Just to say, I’m going to praise your name. And that is worship. But I think there’s more specificity in what worship we give God if we believe this picture is going to play out. And that’s what I want you to see. We’ll worship God, first thing, by never ceasing to give thanks. You and I will never stop worshiping God, which means we’ll never cease to give him thanks. We’ll never stop giving him thanks.
It says in verse 17, When the elders fell on their face, Remember, the elders are just kind of a heavenly host of people. It says, We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. They give him thanks for what’s to come. Think about with me, what is the opposite of thanks? What is the opposite of thankfulness? Well, a few words popped in. In my head, thinking about this discontentment, right? I’m unhappy with my lot.
Ungratefulness, what I do have, I’m not grateful for.
Entitlement, I deserve more. And all of that stems from a heart of pride, doesn’t it? Yet the picture is upside down in God’s kingdom, because when we come to the cross of Jesus, what do we immediately learn? And discover we we learn, discover when we see the cross of Christ, we deserve. If you want to use that word, what you’re entitled to is death. Friends, what we deserve is no good thing for our pride and for our sins against God. Yet in the place of the nothing that we deserve, God has given us what eternal life.
Intimate fellowship with the father and the son. And Jesus. His blood has given us a clean record that we can stand justified before God. And he’s given us a desire for right things and the power in the spirit to live out for right things. So when the reality of the goodness of God in the cross of Jesus really arrests us, and I don’t mean like, yeah, I believe in Jesus and the gospel. But when you really get a vision of the gospel, you won’t be able to find something to complain about. That’s a big thing to say. If you really were arrested by the power of the gospel, what God’s done for you in Christ Jesus, I think you’d have a really hard time finding something to complain about. Because the gospel, friends, it gives us perfect clarity, divine perspective on self, on suffering and persecution.
Whatever trial may come for you and I in life, as great as it is, it can never be compared with what I’ve been given. And what I’ve been given is of eternal value. And what I lose in this life is temporal. It can’t happen. Hang on long. It makes us think about Job. Job says, though you slay me, I will trust you. God gives. God takes. But what can Job say? Bless me in the name of the Lord. Because he knows ultimately he has God. And it’s like big picture revelation stuff. People trying to kill me because I’m a Christian. Scary, demonic, all that, that we have to push against. But I think you can find little seeds of like this in everyday life. Like, where are my car? Car keys, right? And like, you’re mad till lunchtime because you couldn’t find your car keys. Or like, like one of your kids did something wrong or like something. And, you know, I was talking to Jessica about this. And it’s like, man, this stuff doesn’t just live in revelation. It shows up my ungrateful heart, my lack of embracing the gospel. When I want to have control all the time. Right. And I can only see those things that are wrong. And I can’t see the things that are good. She gave me permission to talk about that. OK, I’m I’m I’m throwing myself under the bus, too. But you know what I’m talking about? We all struggle with that, don’t we? As as parents or in your workplace, we can all find things to fuss about. We can all find reasons why everyone’s against us. And so it translate and it would into bigger picture stuff when it comes to living for the Lord and the difficulties associated with it.
What what my heart needs to learn to do is surrender to the spirit. And learn to have thanks coming out of my mouth to say, God, in the midst of hardship, in the midst of trial and persecution that may come in the midst of every difficulty, I have no cause but to be anything but thankful because you’ve loved me and you have saved me. And that is enough. That’s the lens through which I have to look.
Which is how God strengthens your faith. Right. Does God constantly let I’m in an easy situation in my faith? Faith keeps growing. I’m like, no, God’s going to purposely put you in places where it would be difficult to say thank you to God and praise his name. And if not for his spirit and understanding of the gospel. So thanking God for the victory in, you know, for his son is is how he makes our weak faith strong. It’s how he grows us. God, I’m going to trust in you and I’m going to thank your name, even though. And here’s here’s here’s how it goes. You feel far away. Even though, God, it seems. Like you don’t care. Even though, Lord, you seem weak. A genuinely believing heart says, no, I’m not going to do that. Regardless, again, if it’s small things or bigger things for which you’re suffering in the Christian life or what may come in the future, a believing heart praises God and says, thank you, Lord. Thank you.
A heart that doesn’t account for the bleakness of odds or probabilities. If you’ve never read the. The account of Corrie ten Boom or there’s even like a little 40 minute cartoon of it, you can find on Amazon Prime for free. But if you have never read her book or seen her account, she you know, she was hiding Jews during the Holocaust and she was found her sister and she suffered great, great terrors in concentration camps. Yet her story is just so encouraging how she praised the Lord.
You and I can do this thing that our flesh wants us to do and that see life through our human eyes and our human reasoning where we can believe that the Lord God Almighty is in control. Look at it again in verse 17. He says, we thank you. Why? Why did the elders praise him? Because he’s the Lord God Almighty. And if he’s the Lord God Almighty, all praise and thanks is due him. And notice this, because this is really cool. Who is? And who? Who was? This is the first time in Revelation where to come is taken off. Usually that says who is and who wasn’t is to come. It’s not there anymore. Why? Because in this picture, he’s came. So we have to live like, you know what? I’m going to live like he’s already come. That’s how sure I am. It’s going to come to pass. So, church, when when evil, when evil in culture and it’s doing that all around. It’s right. We can talk about how evil is flexing its muscles in school systems, how evil is flexing its muscle on a governmental level, how evil is flexing its muscles in third world countries where Christianity is greatly persecuted. We can talk about that. Let evil flex its muscles. Jesus will flex his someday. And it won’t be just a show. It will be to crush the serpent once and for all. Go ahead and thank him. You know, Daniel. Daniel, who received so many of these prophecies, you know, in his time. And we’ve compared those, you know, kind of what he saw and how it plays out in Revelation. It’s no wonder because Daniel, Daniel is a man of of character, isn’t he? Daniel, when when they his enemies tricked the king into signing the edict that only you can be prayed to for 30 days. David immediately goes and it’s interesting the wording of it. It says he gives thanks to God.
I could lose my life. I was just, you know, worked against by my enemy so that I’ll be killed. I guess I shouldn’t thank the Lord because I’m in a tight spot. That’s not what happens. It says that Daniel immediately goes to his room and he prays in the same direction he always did. And he thanks God. True biblical worship. So hear me say this. True biblical worship is always infused with an element of thanks to God. God for God is always worthy of your thanks.
He is glorious and will come.
One of the ministers at the church where my dad is a is a minister, very, very large church. But this man, his name is Roy McNeil. His wife has had terminal cancer for four years. And it’s one of those things, you know, where like you’re slowly walking. And it’s just like, you know, like this. And every time I ask my dad, well, how is she doing? But, you know, he, among so many people, is constantly posting wonderful encouragements about how great God is on Facebook. He’s constantly encouraging people to follow the Lord. He’s constantly talking about how great God is. You know, and that’s such a real world practical example of praising God because he deserves it. When the world would say, why? Do that. You’ve lost. Cancers beat you. Right. Cultures beat you. No, we’re going to praise God because he deserves it. Right. No matter what. No matter what.
So here’s here’s a question, and I’m not trying to start a fight between you and your wife tonight. Are you a picky, fussy kind of person? You like to complain a lot. If there’s something to fuss about. You’ll be the one. You’ll be the one to fuss about it. Right. And I think the gospel is not just big picture stuff. It’s small picture stuff. That’s where we need to have the flesh teased out in the spirit win so that we’re prepared and conditioned for bigger stuff. If it comes when it comes, when the enemy presses it against the church. Are you afraid of the future? You wonder, oh, no. How could God win in the future? I just. I think it’s all going down and the devil’s winning and culture is gone. Friend, don’t fear the future. The future is when and where Jesus wins and we can trust him through all things. We can be grateful because he’s promised to keep his people for his great end.
If we believe this picture, we’re going to worship. And so we’re going to worship through a thankful heart. Second thing I want us to see, we’re going to worship. We’re going to worship through never ceasing to labor for God. We’ll never cease to labor for God. Verse 18. It says the nations raged, but your wrath came. In the time of the dead to be judged and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints and those who fear your name, both small and great and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.
That mirror. Verse a very popular psalm, psalm to it says, why do the nations rage in the people’s plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their course from us. But look what it says. He who sits in the heavens. What’s it say God does when man and evil sets itself against him? God laughs.
The Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath and terrify them in his fury, saying, as for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill. He’s talking about Jesus. So it’s not surprising, nor is it a new thing, is it? The world, paganism, the kingdom of Satan hates the kingdom of God. And it’s always important in the Old Testament. We see it. We see the pagan nations. They hate God’s people. David, who wrote that psalm, he had spiritual and physical enemies. Can I want in the same for him? A lot of times they hated him. The psalms are full of him pouring his heart out to God for victory. It’s true. When the New Testament church is born, we see what they hate the birth of the New Testament church from Rome to the religious leaders. It’s not any different. It’s not any different today in the world we live. Darkness hates light. Right? If we turned off all the lights, what would we find? We’d be sitting in the dark like a bunch of goobers. You turn the light on, what happens? It goes away. It’s not shocking. It’s duh. And it’s not scary. It’s not scary for God. It’s a cause for laughter. The all-knowing, almighty. The all-knowing, almighty is amused like a small animal biting at his ankle. Can’t do anything. Friends, our God is on the throne executing his sovereign plan to save his people for himself through the life, death, and resurrection of his son, Jesus. And you know, God’s never had any setbacks. He’s never had any problem solving to do. He’s never had a crisis moment. Now, from an earthly standpoint. Do you and I seem to have setbacks sometimes? Do we seem to have problems and crisis moments? All the time. All the time. But you look at every story in the Bible and what do you see? You see what always seems to be from an earthly perspective. My setback, my problem, my struggle is always how God has his victory. That’s always how God works. Think about Abraham and Sarah. You got an old woman and an old man. There ain’t no baby showing up. Baby showed up. Look at Gideon with his 300 men against the thousands. Whips them. God’s people in slavery. David and Goliath. Think about everything the early infant church would have suffered. You thought, well, they’re not going to survive. Well, here we are 2,000 years later. What about when God’s son died on a cross? That’s a setback. No, that’s how God… That’s how God was going to have his victory.
Friends, if it be so, don’t take pushback from evil around you as a sign of losing. Do you look at the news and you look at how the enemy’s working today? You’re like, oh, we’re losing. We’re not losing. We’re winning. God’s laughing. When evil does what evil does, God’s laughing. When you hear stories of atrocities in the East, God’s not surprised. When you hear about culture falling more and more prey towards… Worldliness. He’s going to have his victory in the end under the heel of Jesus. And if that’s true, I want you to really hold on to this. If that’s true, the presence of evil is no sign of its winning. It’s a sign of its losing. That means you and I can labor for God really hard. And when it seems like it’s not making any difference, it’s making the difference. Because God said, go labor. And God’s word says your labor for the Lord is never in vain. You and I can work hard for God. Because God’s going to use that in his way to bring about his glorious end. Your labor is a worship because it’s a statement of faith. God, I’m working and your spirit’s going to use it, despite what I can see, to bring about your end. It’s faith, friends. It’s faith.
Labor hard for the reward that God would give you. 2 Thessalonians.
Chapter 1, Paul writes, This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God for which you are also suffering. Since indeed God considers it just to repay with afflictions those who afflict you and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire and inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints and to be marveled at among all who have believed because our testimony to you is believed. To this end, we pray for you that our God may make you worthy of his calling and here it is, may fulfill every resolve for good in every work of faith by his power. You see that? Is suffering and affliction present there? Absolutely. Is that the place where we’re supposed to be laboring for God? Oh, absolutely.
So, church, I want to I want to encourage you.
Labor for the Lord. It’s never in vain. You and I have just a few short days in this life to labor for God and to give our best to our master and our savior. The Lord Jesus Christ, he is soon to come. Don’t you want your commendation? You think, well, isn’t that kind of dirty?
Isn’t that dirty to like serve God? Because I want something like I want a reward. I don’t think so. One, because Jesus told us to do it. Jesus says in Matthew five, blessed are you and others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you. False in my account. First, well, rejoice and be glad for your reward. It’s great in heaven. So it’s kind of a motivator. But past that, I don’t think it’s dirty because the reward is God himself.
What do you ultimately desire when you die? What do you really want to find at the end of your Christian life? Is it on this twenty thousand square foot house on the edge of a cliff and the water is crystal blue and it’s filled with priceless things? And that’s not heaven for the Christian. What is it? That we really desire when we live for Christ. Christ.
I want you, God. I’m sure the new heavens and the new earth are going to be spectacular. But the greatest reward to living for the Lord is the Lord. You desire the Lord.
And notice and notice what this vision has. I think this is really neat. It’s got something for us all. It says. It says. Rewarding your servants, the prophets and the saints and those who fear your name, both small and great. I think that’s really interesting that it says small and great. Some of us went to a conference this this past weekend. And, you know, there were world famous.
Preachers and teachers there. You know, and there are such aren’t there? There’s world famous Christians. Preachers and authors, all that. And I’m sitting there and I’m thinking, well, I don’t do this kind of thing. That’s OK. You know why? Because God hasn’t called me to. He’s called me just to be right here. Pastor in this church. He’s called me to be faithful in a pregnancy center. He’s called me to be faithful to my wife and my kid. He’s not called me to do great. He just called me to be faithful in my small little world where I am. And if he enlarges that someday, that’s his thing. And it’s the same for you. You may you may feel so small. What do I have to offer the Lord? Let me tell you. Let me tell you. You give your all and your best to God. That’s what God wants from you. He would desire to award both the great and the small. God calls you to faithfulness in your marriage, your children, your workplace, your neighborhood, you know, your friends and families and relatives, your opportunities in your life. It’s not it’s not about. How big of a calling do I have? It’s about faithfulness to the calling God’s given me that that’s who God is rewarding.
You know, I guess father’s it is Father’s Day. And that’s so applicable, isn’t it? You know, again, just reminded so often at the pregnancy center. What’s the great deficit in society today? It’s fatherhood. It’s fatherhood. What a calling it is to labor. As a godly husband, a godly father and make a true difference for generations to come. That’s that’s one huge labor. And that’s no small one either.
I’m struck by this proverb lately, and it applies Proverbs 18, 9. Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.
If you build a building and you knock that building over.
It’s the same for the guy that never built the building, though he should have built it in the first place. In other words, people who destroy and tear things apart. They’re akin to a lazy person who’s supposed to do a thing, but he never even does it to start with. When you when you go to work, you’re being paid to do a certain job. But if you get paid and you don’t do that job, it’s as if you robbed your employer. Friends, in the same way, God has called you not to do a certain labor and we are akin to a destroyer. If we don’t do the work we’re supposed to do that God’s calling us to do. See it then that someday you’re going to answer to the boss, aren’t you? We’re all going to stand before judgment. And I want to be found not as a as a lazy person, not as one who is as a destroyer, but one who in the spirit of God, by the grace of God, has been able to do the work of God for the glory of God. Use your talents, your gifts, your callings in this life, in the church, in your home, to be a witness to the Lord, the glorious incomes.
To close on verse 19, it says, Then God’s temple in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. And there were flashes of lightning and rumblings and peals of thunder and earthquake and heavy hail. They say, well, why is that being tacked on to the end there? What’s the significance of this? Well, if you remember in the Old Testament, the ark of the covenant, it kind of was that sign and symbol that represented the very presence and power of God. You know, you touch that thing, you’re dead. You couldn’t touch it. I mean, you would just God would strike you dead. That happened. The ark. The ark of the covenant was in the Holy of Holies. Who could who could go into the Holy of Holies? Only the great high priest in one day a year. So while while the ark of the covenant was a sign and symbol of God’s faithfulness in the Old Testament, it was not a means by which they were ultimately saved and could be near to God. Was it? It was it was very structured. It was very rigorous. What it meant to be one of God’s people in the Old Testament. It was it was a very distant relationship, even as close as it was. Yet we know that the ark of the covenant was not the last covenant that God made, was it? The Hebrew writer tells us that there was a better covenant made. It was a better covenant than the one made at Mount Sinai. There was a better covenant made and it was the one made with the very blood of Jesus. This picture is showing us. As the temple is open, we see the ark of the covenant, a reminder of God’s great promise to save and to draw his people in forever and to the eternal heavenly places. Isn’t that amazing that God would say, do you worry about the end? Are you freaked out? OK, well, look, here’s a picture of everyone worshiping God and my son and he reigns. Hey, remember that? You remember that temple and the tabernacle and the ark and you had to stay out because you’re so sinful and all that? Remember the blood of my son? Remember the blood of my son, Jesus, and see how he draws you in. See how you’ll have eternal fellowship with me above evil in the heavenly places. Friends, it’s a glorious end. That’s a glorious story.
God would do so much for sinners like us. Doesn’t he deserve your thanks? Doesn’t he deserve the best of your praises in the hardest parts in life? Doesn’t this God deserve your greatest sacrifice? And your greatest labors to know that he’s going to use it? And no matter what evil is doing in the world, Jesus, King Jesus is going to win. That’s a glorious, amazing story that you and I get to be a part of. And it’s an amazing, glorious end that we get to have a share in because of what Jesus has accomplished on the cross. Let us then live for that glorious end. Let’s pray.
Father, you deserve all. You deserve all.
Lord, we pray that we would give it.
Lord, let us be found faithful.
Lord, let us be found desiring you. Let us be found full of the Spirit. Let us not fear the enemy. Let us not worry. Let us not waste time. Lord, let us live with a heart of gratitude and joy for who you have made us in your son, Jesus. Let us go and not look back. Thank you for your promises to keep us. Thank you for the pictures from Genesis all the way to Revelation at the very end. Oh, how gracious and kind you are, Lord, to bear us up in our frailties.
Jesus, we need your wisdom. We need your power. We need your grace to live for you. And thank you that you. You give it. And you’re with us to the end. God, just thank you for who you are. We just say you are great. There’s no one like you. There’s no one like you. We just say we love you. And we want to give our all to you for your glory.
Amen.
