Divine appointment 

‘In My Father’s house are many mansions.’ John 14:2 NKJV 

Will there be many people in heaven? Yes, a multitude from every nation on earth. But will we be able to understand each other? Of course, we’ll all speak one language, just as it was before the Tower of Babel. If there’s such a big crowd, won’t I feel a bit lost or lonely? No, you will be the same you in heaven as you are on earth, uniquely you and uniquely His. God will call each of us by name. Moses will still be Moses, I’ll still be me and you’ll still be you. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I’m a little scared. I really like this world – how can I adjust to somewhere so different? This world is like a womb. Just as a baby is contained in his mother’s womb, so we are bound by the limitations of this life. Maybe the baby would be a little scared leaving the womb. Then death is ...? You’ve got it, a journey from earth life to the newness of heaven life. We’ll go through a tunnel; we may experience momentary struggle, like we did when we were born, but beyond the tunnel is heaven. Think of holding a hand and finding it’s God’s hand! Of breathing new air and finding it’s celestial air. Of feeling invigorated and finding it’s immortality. Of passing from storm and tempest into unknown calm. Of waking up and finding it’s home. Did anybody ever get there by accident? No, it’s by appointment only. Have you made yours yet? 

Prayer Point:

Lord, in this life I sometimes worry about the future, only to find You are there when I face it. You tell me to live a day at a time, leaving the future where it belongs, and not trying to borrow tomorrow’s grace today. I know Your grace will be there when I need it. Even in death, I will not be alone, for You have promised never to leave or forsake those who belong to You. Amen.
