Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Kids look forward to Christmas, Disneyland, and summer vacations. They imagine how great those things could be. Christians look forward to heaven and dream of seeing the Lord face to face, reuniting with those we love that have gone home to the Lord before us, and sharing in the glory of Jesus and his angels. But we can't begin to imagine the great things that God has prepared for us without the Spirit's help. They are far more glorious than anything we can dream or imagine. So let's anticipate being surprised with glory and live until then with passion for the cause of the Kingdom. We know that any loss, any wound, any trouble, will not be worth comparing to the glory to be revealed in us (Romans 8:18). And, because we have the Holy Spirit, let's ask the Spirit who helps understand glimpses of this glory, we can antipate what glorious things are coming us (1 Corinthians 2:10).

My Prayer...

Thank you, Father, for preparing a place of glory for me with you in heaven. I believe it is far greater than anything I could ever imagine, but I ask the Spirit to give me glimpses of this glorious future with you. Thank you, Jesus, for returning to heaven to prepare a place for me with you in glory. I look forward to the day I stand in your presence and praise you with the angels. In your name, Lord Jesus, I praise and thank you. Amen.
