Prayer – Lord, show me what it means for things to be
the same here on earth…as it is in Heaven.
In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in
heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as
it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10 NKJV
Meditate on Heaven.
What is heaven like? We don’t have a lot of details about heaven.
We do know that the Throne of God is there…and He sits on that Throne. There
are other thrones—one at the right hand of the Father, where Jesus sits now,
and twenty-four other thrones for the twenty-four elders (see Revelation 4:4). Additionally,
see Revelation 21 and 22 for a description of the New Jerusalem that comes down
from heaven, including the foundation, size, gates, jeweled adornments, a river
of life, and fruit trees. Is this heaven on earth? John wrote about the new
heaven and new earth, because the old ones had passed away. They were destroyed
by God and replace with new, pure creations.

God chooses His will in heaven to be done on earth. It is
our choice to listen to Him…and do His will or not. Are you listening to Him
today? What is He telling you? Are you going to be a faithful follower and
obediently do His will on earth—as He has chosen in heaven?
Verse of Salvation ~ After these things I heard a loud
voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Alleluia! Salvation and
glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! Revelation 19:1 NKJV
