• What qualities of God did the creatures praise day and night?

• According to the song of the elders, why is God worthy of worship?

• What did the twenty-four elders do to worship God? What is the significance of this act? What “crowns” in my life can I lay down as an act of worship?

• Take time to offer thanksgiving and praise to God based on this passage.
