Sounding a Harp
"I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters … like the sound of harpists playing on their harps."
Revelation 14:2
John was overwhelmed, struggling to find words to match the wonders of Heaven. It was filled with sights of splendor. In particular, John was impressed with a voice that sounded like many harps. He had seen living creatures and elders, “each one holding a harp” (Revelation 5:8). And he described hearing a voice like “harpists playing on their harps.”
The harp has a unique place for God’s people. As a boy, David played the harp for King Saul, with miraculous impact (1 Samuel 16:23). The harp was so important that David set aside men in his army to prophesy with harps (1 Chronicles 25:1-3). The Bible tells us that harps are an integral part of praising God (Psalm 33:2).
As we know from the Bible, the sound of the harp can be soothing and even healing. Yet when played in a harp choir, the sound can be overpowering and have a miraculous impact.
How can we play this harp in our times so that this miracle sound can deliver us like it delivered king Saul and perform wonders for us ? The answer to this is, when we praise God every day of our life, offering our life as living sacrifice, it is equivalent to playing the harp. When our lives are in tune with God's will and when we walk in his ways and not in the ways of the world and when we praise Him, it has a great impact above all else. Note these three things.
Today learn to be tuned to God's will, walk in His ways and let your praises be lifted up unto Him (Lord Jesus) who is seated on the throne, doing so makes you sound like the harp, just like the saints in heaven did. The glory of the Lord will fill you, and you will be a great blessing.
