Focus on God’s Goodness-Hallelujah

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Revelation 19:6 and 7a.

The Apostle John heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting, “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!”

Hallelujah is a term that means “Praise the Lord.” It appears four times in the Bible, and all those appearances are in Revelation chapter 19. This is the shout of praise among the inhabitants of heaven. It is an expression of victory and celebration. Hallelujah is an acknowledgment that salvation and glory and power belong to our God.

The Hallelujahs of Heaven reveal the goodness of God and are reasons to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
