As we gather in our groups for worship, we may sometimes feel weak and isolated. We seem to be a tiny minority, even in our communities, and a pitifully small group compared with the billions who inhabit the earth. But that is a false picture. Though we may see only small numbers around us as we gather, an unseen host surrounds us! Every Sunday morning some eighty million people gather in Christian churches in our own land, with millions in other countries. Beside that, there is a great invisible host that no one can count --people of all kindreds, nations, races, and tongues, singing praise at the throne of God. The writer of Revelation speaks of "myriads of myriads," an immense number. So we are not left alone as a small isolated segment of Christ's church. We stand alongside angels and archangels and all the glorious company of heaven as we laud and magnify God's glorious name.
