Seeing life's events in the light of God's Word.

Welcome Home

Psalm 91:1- “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

My husband and I are in the process of pre-planning at our local mortuary. Recently experiencing the deaths of my parents, whose foresight in this area made it easier on our family, we want to do the same for our children when our time comes.

Decades ago, professing faith in Christ gave us the assurance of our eternal home in heaven. Living in His shelter and experiencing his peace and strength daily is just a “preview” of things to come.

I love the wording of Psalm 91:1. It depicts a caring and loving God who not only watches over us now, but one who is preparing a place for His children. He has planned our lives from the beginning to the end. 

And He will welcome us home in the fullness of time.

No More Night

Revelation 22:5– “There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”

 

 

When I was a youngster, we often played outside with the other kids in our neighborhood. We’d stay out until it started getting dark and our parents would call us inside for supper.

Yes, when the light started to fade, we knew our play time was nearing an end.

The most enjoyable times in life go by much too quickly, don’t they?

But the Bible tells us that an eternal place is being prepared for each of his children who know him as Savior. In heaven we will have unimaginably wonderful experiences that will never end.

No pain or suffering. No boredom. No hunger. No pain.

We will have friendships and laughter.

We won’t need to go to church, because we will live constantly and consciously in God’s presence.

Luke 6:23 says we will “Rejoice…and leap for joy, because great (will be our) reward in heaven.”

And although many of us will know the happiness of having our parents there with us, they won’t be calling us in when it gets dark…

for Jesus, the Light of the World, will be there.
