MORNING MANNA 6-8-23
HEAVEN ON MY MIND
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”- 2 Cor. 4:18
When I woke up this morning (for about the fourth time) I got dressed. And sitting there hurting all over I felt like crying rather than rejoicing about the gift of another day. The next thing I did was to turn on some music. The first song that came on was “In a land where we’ll never grow old”.
That’s not a bad way to start the day – thinking about that land of pure delight where there will never be night, nor pain, nor tears. There all will be glory rather than grief, pleasure instead of pain, rejoicing rather regrets, a continual celebration instead of constant complaints! Heaven will be glorious beyond anything we can imagine. No wonder we sing, “I’m homesick for heaven, I’ve got a longing to go”!
Words cannot describe heaven’s happiness, nor can the mind imagine how wonderful it will be. So, if perhaps you just woke up feeling tired, weary, and wondering what difficulties you might be forced to face today, maybe you ought to spend some time meditating on your heavenly home.
W. H. Griffith Thomas wrote, “The consideration of heaven is no mere spiritual luxury, no mere intellectual dissipation, no imaginative revelry, but is really and definitely practical and suitable . . . and has a real bearing on our daily life.” Think about it! – HDS
