If there were nothing else to do but praise the Lord God with all your heart and voice, if you had never to eat, or drink, or sleep, but could praise God always and occupy yourself solely with spiritual pursuits, how much happier you would be than you are now, a slave to every necessity of the body!
–Thomas à Kempis
What a wonderful day that will be, when we are no longer a slave to the necessities of our physical bodies, and we are able to do nothing but praise God and pursue Him with no other distractions.
I long for the day when God will bring me to Himself, and I am able to experience the joy of praising Him that we see in Revelations which says that we will join with those who are around His throne:
and day and night they do not cease to say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME.” and “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”
What a glorious day that will be!
Come, Lord Jesus, Come!
