Please read Revelation 4.

Meditate on verses 9-10.
And when the living creatures give glory
and honor and thanks to Him who sits
on the throne, to Him who lives forever
and ever, the twenty-four elders will
fall down before Him who sits on the
throne, and will worship Him who
lives forever and ever, and will
cast their crowns before the throne.
As you continue reading Revelation, remember you are simply reading John’s description of what he saw in his vision from Jesus about Jesus and things that must soon take place (Revelation 1:1). It would be like you describing a dream you had last night. So, try to picture in your mind what John saw in his mind 2,000 years ago.
John gives a glorious description of God on His throne and the response of those privileged to see Him. Notice what happens when the four living creatures praise the LORD (v. 9). The 24 elders worship Him, too, casting their gold crowns at His feet (v. 10).
Purpose to be a living creature with your eyes fixed on Jesus, constantly giving glory, honor, and thanks to Him. As you do, notice the impact on others who will worship Him, too.
Praise the LORD with Revelation 4:8b and 11 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“Holy, holy, holy are You LORD God, the
Almighty, Who was and Who is and
Who is to come. Worthy are You, my LORD
and my God, to receive glory and
honor and power; for You created all things,
and because of Your will they existed
and were created. LORD, let me say these
Words day and night, forever and ever.
To the glory of Your name, Jesus~”
