What Heaven Will Be Like

August 21, 2013

And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.
–Revelation 22:3

The Bible indicates that heaven will be a place of great understanding and knowledge of things that we never learned down here. Sir Isaac Newton, when an old man, said to one who praised his wisdom, “I am as a child on the seashore picking up a pebble here and a shell there, but the great ocean of truth still lies before me.” And Thomas Edison once said, “I do not know one millionth part of one percent about anything.” Many of the mysteries of God—the heartaches, trials, disappointments, tragedies, and the silence of God in the midst of suffering—will be revealed in heaven.

Prayer for the day

All the questions will be answered, loving Father, when I take my place in heaven to praise You.

Some days ago I was asking why should I believe in a God whom I don`t see, and the Holy Spirit remembered me "blessed are those who believe even before seeing" John 20.29 He didn't answer my question, but gave me a reason to believe. He's wonderful!

The greatness of heaven is the fact we will see Jesus and be face to face with Him forever. Thank God for his unspeakable Gift.

The day that God returns will be a joy for many people of this world. We that are saved will go to heaven to have joy,peace, and happiness forever, so if you are not a saved born again christian ask Jesus into your heart right now before He returns.

Today, August 21, 2006 is the 5th year of the death of my (then 92 year old father) who had gone to be with God at 1:50pm EST. This is always a very difficult time for me. He was the most devoted and displined man to God's rules of life. Louie Dixon Sanford's hero was Jesus. Please remember my father at this time of death. He thought that Reverend Graham was the most wonderful Evangelist of our time. I just wanted Mr. Billy Graham to know how much that he admired him all of those years when my father became familar with he on television. We wouldd have a hour, in our family, for his shows. That was almost, the only time the TV was turned on, that interested Daddy. I miss him so very much. It is _comfort to me to tell this to Reverend Graham_. Love, Bonnie.~Typed at 1:45pm. Thank you.

Today's devotional is a great reminder of a wonderful song and scripture that 'We'll understand it better by and by'

The Bible asks the question, "who can know the mind of God" ? We get glimpses of the way God thinks as we study his Holy Word but .............he is the Potter and we are the clay. I may not understand all that he does but I trust and believe that it is for our best, always.
