One of these days, I will post my last devotion on this
blog. I will no longer be here on earth, but I will be enjoying the treasures
of Heaven. God will wipe away every negative emotion in my soul and heal all of
my diseases (Revelation 21:4). I will worship around the throne
with the angels and the host of Saints who went on before me (Revelation
4:8-11).
The glory of God will light the expanse of Heaven, brighter
and warmer than the sun (Revelation 21:23, 22:5). I will
see the river of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne, with the tree
of life on both sides of the river for the healing of the nations (Revelation
22:1-2). I will saunter through the heavenly tabernacle (Hebrews
8:5).
Eventually, the Lord will return to the earth with His
Saints to destroy Satan and his pitiful army, which he gathers in the valley of
Megiddo to attempt to war with God again (Revelation 16:14, 19:7-21). Jesus
will defeat them with one word (Revelation 19:15; Zechariah 12:1-9). Then,
Christ will make a new heaven and a new earth and we will dwell as the wife of
King Jesus in the city of New Jerusalem (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-3,
10-27; 22:14; 10:10-27).
Prayer:
Father God, the fact that You count us worthy to worship
the Lamb for eternity is more than our mind can comprehend (Revelation
7:9; Luke 21:36). In New Jerusalem, there will be no need for a temple, for
You and the Lamb are our temple (Revelation 21:22). However, only those whose
names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be able to dwell there with
You for time without end (Revelation 21:27).
Thought for the Day:
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has the full impact
dawned on the heart of any human being of just how awesome Heaven will be for
those who love God. - 1 Corinthians 2:9
