A Glimpse of Heaven

"One Year Bible" Old Testament Passage
Job 37:1-39:30

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy... Job 38:7 (NKJV)

It is common for men to speculate and wonder at what Heaven will be like.  If you know Jesus, Heaven is your ultimate destination.  Heaven means eternity and whole lot more!

One of the consistent images concerning Heaven is that of incredible joy and exultation before God.  Heaven means worship in the richest and most powerful dimensions imaginable.  God speaks to Job in a kind of rebuke asking him if he was witness to eternal realities at the moment the world was created.

In that moment, THERE WAS WORSHIP.  Scripture says the morning stars sang in perfect harmony.  There was shouting because of the goodness of God in creation.

It always encourages me to consider what is going on in Heaven right now.  Despite our frantic, frustrated, stressed-out existence here on Planet Earth, there is great joy, peace, and power in Heaven.  So we pray today, "Our Father, Who is in Heaven, may Your Kingdom come -- Your will be done -- on earth as it is in Heaven!"
