December 24 — "The Day Heaven Sings ‘He Was Right’"

Today's Reading: Revelation 15

Revelation 15 drops us into a moment that feels almost cinematic: a great crowd gathered beside a glassy sea, holding harps and lifting their voices. But the real twist is what they’re singing. It’s called “The song of Moses… and the song of the Lamb.” That’s not a remix. That’s a collision of eras. The anthem of the Exodus—God shattering chains, exposing false gods, rescuing slaves—mysteriously blends with the anthem of the cross, where the Lamb was slain and redemption poured out through sacrifice.

Heaven doesn’t treat these as separate plotlines. It sees one long rescue mission finally reaching its crescendo.

What grabs me is when the song erupts. Not before the struggle. Not as a warm-up. This anthem rises after victory, after perseverance, after faith has been refined in fire. These are people who refused to bow, refused to blend in, refused to let fear compromise their worship. Their praise isn’t naïve. It’s earned. And that’s why the lyrics land with such weight: “Great and amazing are your deeds… just and true are your ways.” This isn’t hype language. It’s the testimony of people who watched God’s justice unfold just like He said it would, even when it looked like evil was winning the battle.

Here’s the fresh angle: Heaven sings about God’s character more than God’s power. They don’t just say He’s strong. They say He’s right. They don’t just say He won. They say He won the right way. In a world where power gets applauded even when it’s corrupt, this song announces that God never compromises His goodness to accomplish His purposes. He is King, not because He dominates, but because His ways are just and His truth outlasts every generation.

And notice this—worship in Revelation isn’t an escape from reality; it’s a verdict on reality. Singing becomes an act of clarity. It’s the final declaration that God was telling the truth all along. Every promise fulfilled. Every injustice confronted. Every tear remembered.

If you’ve ever wondered whether staying faithful actually matters, Revelation 15:3 responds with a resounding, yes! “Great and amazing are your deeds, O God” is the song that echoes through eternity. Faithfulness becomes music in the presence of God.

May the Lord tune your heart to that future song even now, giving you courage to stand, clarity to trust His ways, and joy that outlasts every storm.
