Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. (Psalm 140:13 KJV)

During a gathering to celebrate a couple’s engagement I couldn’t help but note people sitting in “groups of five.”   WIthin these groups were disparaging ages and backgrounds.  There were ten of these groups, and it wasn’t designed as such, it just happened that way.  You know how it is while attending such gatherings, people will invariably drift off and “self-group” with those in which they could relate.

I couldn’t help but think about the “eternal presence” of God.  When we are called home, we will not be broken into “groups” –instead we will be gathered around the the Light of the world.  We will all share a purpose as we worship our Lord and Savior…our King.  There will be no groups of five…only a common thread bound by the cord of Christ. Our Father will be our reason and purpose and we will all have our things to do, but it will be a cohesive and peaceful gathering.

All those who surrender their lives to Christ will be rewarded.  We can still be blessed during our time on earth, while in our “flesh bodies.”  We can come to the Lord and He will sustain and provide for us here and now…and eventually lead the way into eternity.  Doing His Will as we go through life will be the key to pleasing God, and He will bless us accordingly.  A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. (Proverbs 12:2 KJV)

Our Lord is wise and powerful. He loves us and wants us to follow His ways so we might share eternity with Him. If He didn’t want us with Him, He wouldn’t have sent His Son, Yeshua the Messiah to save us from sin. (John 3:16)

He created us and all things f for His pleasure. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Revelation 4:11 KJV)

When we are called home and see His magnificence, we will be worshipping and bowing and proclaiming His  Glory in unison, as we live in accordance to His promise and His will forever. “Saying in a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory , and blessing.” (Reveleation 4:12 )

What a beautiful and peaceful assurance, to know that we will all live on forever in His love, and His glory.  What an awesome God we serve!

Amen and Amen~

 

 

And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heart I saying, Blessing, and honour and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. (Revelation 4:13 KJV)
