October 3
There is something spine-tingling about the roar of the crowd at a football game. The fans are exuberant when their team appears on the field. Not only are the team’s colors prominently displayed by the official gear being worn by the players but also by the towels their supporters wave.
And the noise of the crowd is deafening! There is nothing somber about this occasion! The fans have come to demonstrate their passion for the hometown boys and one of the ways they do it is through their vocal support. When the team is at the point of a crucial play, they will turn to the cheering section and signal that they should shout even louder.
Unless you are truly into the game, and unless your team has brought you to the pinnacle of success by winning the Super Bowl, you probably can’t feel into the excitement. But if you are, and if it has, your appetite has only been whet for more. One Lombardi Trophy cannot satisfy the hometown crowd. One Super Bowl ring is never enough.
But the sound of the cheers at a football game pales in comparison to the glorious chorus of praise sung to our Holy God by the angels that is heard throughout the corridors of Heaven! In Revelation 19:6 we are told that John the revelator heard: “…what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting, ‘Halleluiah! For the Lord God Almighty reigns.’”
Until we hear the angels’ mighty cheering section praising God, we’ve heard nothing!
