The Mystery of Heaven
I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalms 23:6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my
life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
What will heaven be like? Just as there is a mystery to hell,
so there is a mystery to heaven. Yet I believe the Bible teaches that heaven is
a literal place. Is it one of the stars? I don’t know, I can’t even speculate.
The Bible doesn’t inform us. I believe that out there in space where there are
one thousand million galaxies, each a hundred thousand light years or more in
diameter, God can find some place to put us in heaven.
I’m not worried about
where it is. I know it will be where Jesus is. Christians don’t have to go
around discouraged and despondent, with their shoulders bent. Think of it—the
joy, the peace, the sense of forgiveness that He gives you, and then heaven,
too.
Prayer for the Day:
Whatever I face, Lord, my heart rejoices in the knowledge of
my ultimate destination—heaven— where I will live with You for eternity!
