Even with the presence of sin in this world, the earth is still full of God’s glory. (Isaiah 6:3
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”)
I marvel at
the uniqueness throughout creation. In fact, a few weeks ago Joe and I
were on a walk and noticed a unique cloud cluster. Most of the sky above
us was clear blue, but the large cloud cluster to the South of us
caught our attention. Later, as we were finishing
our walk and almost home, we saw the cloud cluster light up and then
light up again in another spot. Flashes of lightening were streaking the
clouds over and over again. We didn’t hear the thunder, but stopped and
took in the natural “fireworks” display for
several minutes. We’ve never seen anything like it! Once inside, Joe
looked up the nearest storm and found one over Sandusky, over 2 hours
away. What amazing power displayed within just a group of clouds and
water!
Can you imagine what it will be like when Jesus returns in full glory for all to see?
Matthew 25:31-34
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him,
he will sit on his glorious throne.
32 All the nations will be gathered before
him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the goats.
33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you
who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom
prepared for you since the creation of the world.
I can’t imagine how glorious the
new heaven and new earth will be, the kingdom prepared for believers
since the creation of the world! All the marvelous wonders on this earth
won’t even begin to compare with what is yet
to come. So, if you are a believer, don’t worry about getting to all
the places on your bucket list, because we’ll have even greater and more
glorious things to explore for all eternity!
