Harmony from diversity in the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir

Highlight Passage : … Revelation 5:11-12 [ESV] ... 11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice, … “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
… John saw all creatures saying/singing praises to the Lamb of God.

Reference Passage : … Galatians 3:27-28 [ESV] ... 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
… From the diversity of our humanity, in Christ, we become unified as one body.

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Bill Crowder, AT THIS LINK uses the illustration of a multicultural/multiracial city like London to show the diversity of the human condition, … both positively and negatively.
And we certainly are seeing the negative forces these days, aren't we, … that is, … the destructive expression of cultural/ethnic diversity in our world now? But when you hear a multi-racial, multi-cultural, choir like the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, in the song linked above, sing what we can imagine is pictured in God’s Revelation thru John, … that is, … all nations, races, and peoples coming together in glory to sing praises to the Lamb of God, … we see what God intended to come out of the diversity of His creation.
So, I pray all reading here will take in the song; and God’s intention for His Bride, the Church, and let’s all pray that we see more of the unity out of diversity which God intended for His Body to express in this world.
=============
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for creating Your Body to come together to become Your Bride.
=============
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray, Lord, that all reading here will join me, … to become unified as Your Body, and to praise You as Your Bride, the Church. Amen
