The Eternal Abode

" I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever."

Psalm 23:6

Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 23.

What will Heaven be like? Just as there is a mystery to hell, so there is a mystery to Heaven. Yet I believe the Bible teaches that Heaven is a literal place. Where is it? I do not know, I cannot even begin to speculate, because the Bible does not inform us. However, I am not worried or concerned about where it is. But this I know; Heaven will be where the Lord Jesus is. Christians do not have to go around discouraged and despondent, leaning forward with their shoulders bent. Think of it—the joy, the peace, the sense of forgiveness that He gives you, and then Heaven, too. David was able to say “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever” (Psalm 23:26). I might not know where Heaven is, but I do know that Jesus Christ is the way.

Prayer: Whatever I face, Lord, God my heart rejoices in the knowledge of my ultimate destination—heaven—where I will live with You for eternity! I thank you, and praise you in the Saviour's name. Amen.
