Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. — Revelation 4:4
We don’t know a whole lot about these twenty-four elders. Where did they come from? Are they some form of angels? How did they get here? What is their job? What are they thinking? What do they see? If we could spend a day with one of them, what would we learn?
There’s a lot going on that we don’t know anything about.
I am roughly a half century old. Most of the human race on earth is younger than I am. But in real terms, we are only children.
One evening I walked downtown with our youngest child. As we crossed the street, I took her hand.
That’s how it is with us. Someone older and wiser is here; He sees things we don’t; He knows things we don’t. And when we need it, He takes our hand.
Be encouraged!
