Be Still, My Soul

Many people are disturbed by Revelation, because of its end time prophecy. However, I find comfort in Revelation because of the beautiful visions of heaven and the redeemed creation. One of those beautiful visions of heaven is Revelation 7:9-17. This is a heavenly throne room scene where people of every tribe, language, and race worship Jesus. Not only do we get a vision but we also receive the promise that in heaven “They will hunger no more, they will thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to the springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

This week if you are struggling with life, remember this vision given to John and this promise to which we can still cling. I look forward to a day when Jesus will fully be at the center to guide us to springs of life and God will wipe away all our tears.

Looking toward Heaven,

Rev. Sherri
