When we talk to one another about Heaven, we tend to portray it as more of the best of life here. "He is sitting by the river, catching the biggest catfish of his life!" Or "Mother and Daddy are surely please to be back together."
In Revelation, the image of Heaven is the opportunity to continually praise God. There are these living creatures which never cease to sing "Holy, holy, holy....." Whenever they give glory, the elders "fall down before him who is seated on the throne."
It is not my intention to deter you in your pursuit of Heaven. Strive to find yourself there!!!! My prayer this morning is for hearts and lives grateful and thus eager for the opportunity to spend eternity giving God thanks.
These days can be an opportunity to reflect on these things and to consider all that God has done for you. Use them well. And prepare for the time when what resides in the deepest folds of your heart will shine through.
