Good morning! A wind chill of 38° this morning speaks for itself in regard to how it feels outside. I see the neighbor has decided not to ride his motorcycle to work today; we can certainly understand that decision. Praise God for the changing seasons!
Why do you want to go to heaven? I think that one major reason for me is to hear the wonderful music of the heavenly choir praising God. The evidence for this is in how much I and others enjoy music here on the earth. We may enjoy recorded or live music, hard rock or classical, or any other of the many forms of music. We might even make our own music through singing or playing an instrument. However, I think that all the music we enjoy now will fall short of God's glorious standard in heaven. What a sight and sound those shepherds enjoyed in Judah when the heavenly host announced the birth of our Savior with praises to God! I mention Christmas music a lot in this devotional, and folks at work know that I start listening to Christmas music a bit earlier than most. However, I suspect that if I were to take all of my Christmas music and combine it into one great symphony that it would still fall far short of what we can expect to hear, see, and feel in Heaven. We are simply too limited by our earthly experience to have more than a very rudimentary picture of what it will be like with Jesus in Heaven.
Praise God for our joyous hope of Heaven!
