Heaven and Earth Are Full of His Glory

     Remember two days ago we talked about Christ being the reason “all things” were made? Let’s look at one of those verses again.

For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities. All things have been created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16

     Part of this verse mentions the things that are “visible and invisible.” The Bible speaks often about the spiritual world around us, both good and evil. Do you ever imagine what heaven will be like? I do. I look forward to seeing the angels, to marveling at the colors and the light.

     And most of all, I wait in expectation at the thought of meeting our Lord, face-to-face.  We will be home and we will see everything clearly with our spiritual eyes wide open.

For now, we see only a reflection, as in a mirror, then we shall see face-to-face. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12

     This verse is at the end of the love chapter, that is read at many weddings. Finally, at the end of all things as we know them now, we will have only just begun. What will remain? This verse is a great reminder of what our focus should be fixed on while alive on the earth.

And now these three remain, faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

     The love we gather, the love we share will follow us and will remain in heaven. It’s ultimately all about love. If only the world could know the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The only earthly hope, is heavenly love and it comes from above.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

     All of our gifts are lavished on us from the Father of lights. He does not change. His love endures forever. Great is His faithfulness.

For great is Your love, reaching to the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 57:10

Father,

Your gifts are good, Your love and faithfulness are ours forever. Both the invisible and visible praise Your name. The earth and the heavens bring glory to You. We praise You for everything You give us.

In Jesus name,

Amen
