CONJUBILANT

Whether it’s Taylor Swift or Beyonce - Phil Wickham or Casting Crowns - when a stadium fills to capacity with bodies swaying and chanting in unison, as the crowd’s voice crescendos in a roar and the performers create an atmosphere of anticipation, all eyes are focused on the stage.

The exuberant delight and joy radiates from one like a dry parched land that drinks of the water to quench the thirst of the thousands waiting to receive a musical annointing. And they are not disappointed when the first note echoes across the concert hall or stadium.

Conjubilant is what it is - the shouting out in joy together. The exhilerating feeling of coming together to share the experience from the pounding of the drums, the beginning guitar and keyboard tones of the performers who truly love music by laughing as they play and sing to the collective mob that scream along with the lyrics.

That’s just a little of imagining what heaven will be like when we sing around the throne! Holy! Holy! Holy! Is the Lord God Almighty!

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.

 In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
    to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
    and honor and glory and praise!” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them,

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
    be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”

The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped. Revelation 5: 11-14

While we are living and breathing on this side of heaven, let us shout for joy, sing together and be conjubilant! Check out a song to get you singing:
