There’s no guarantee we’ll have time to get ready later. If choirs and orchestras can elevate our hearts and thoughts here on this earth, what will it be like when we hear the celestial choirs, accompanied by heaven-trained orchestras, lifting praise to Almighty God around the throne?įor those of us who are heading to heaven, we need to start rehearsing immediately. They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.Īnd I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!” And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”Īnd I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. Taken from David Jeremiah’s book Answers to Questions About Heaven We cannot possibly comprehend all the glorious work with which we’ll be occupied throughout eternity but we know that our service will result in deep joy and fulfillment. What we won’t experience are the difficulties, pressures, stresses, and heartaches that accompany work down here. Free from earthly limitations, we will be serving in the fullest expression of the capacity God has given us and using the giftedness He has placed within us. God has a great plan for each one of us to be wonderfully, happily, excitedly employed as we serve the Lord in Paradise. Now, that doesn’t sound like we’re going to be sitting around forever and ever-it sounds like there will be “many things” to do!Īnd Revelation says, “His servants shall serve Him” (22:3).
Enter into the joy of your lord” (Matthew 25:21). What is God going to say to us when we get to heaven? I don’t think He will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant you can have the rest of eternity off.” He will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.
