Message
Lon Woodrum once said, “I’ve never seen that Other World, Beyond time’s narrow shore, Where he has pledged that we shall live with Him forevermore. But though the map of that high world be oddly traced and dim, Because He’s there I’ll be there too – Sometime, somehow, with Him.” Heaven is the holy habitation of God where holy angels and departed spirits of saints dwell. Christ told His disciples before He left for heaven that He would prepare a place there and return to take them there.

David was a wise and thoughtful king. He knew he would not be on earth forever. His royalty or achievements would not exempt him from accountability after death. The two important questions he asked and the answers he got are sure parts of eternal rest in God’s holy hill for every heavenly-minded youth. To prepare for heaven, you need an intimate relationship with God through repentance, faith in Christ’s atoning sacrifice and holy living, without which no man shall see God. Friend, are you prepared to meet your God?
Quote: Are you prepared to meet your God?
Challenge: Be ready to meet your God.
Prayer for today: Make me ready for your presence, oh Lord.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
