The Land Of And
January 26, 2012

In a TV commercial I saw recently, the kids argued in the back seat of the car about where to stop for dinner. One wanted pizza; another chicken. Mom, in the front passenger seat, said, “No, we’ll stop for a hamburger.”

Dad quickly solved the family disagreement with this idea: “We’ll stop at the buffet restaurant, and you can each have what you want and all you want.” The commercial closes with the words, “Take care of family squabbles about what’s for dinner. Go to _____ Buffet, the ‘Land of And.’”

When I saw that commercial, I thought of another “Land of And”: heaven. It is a place that will have all we need. Foremost, we will be in the very presence of Almighty God. In describing heaven, the apostle John said, “The throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it” (Rev. 22:3). Our thirsty souls will be completely satisfied from the “pure river of water of life” that proceeds from His throne (22:1), for He says to His people, “I will give . . . freely to him who thirsts” (21:6). Another “and” in this land will be the tree of life for “the healing of the nations” (22:2). What we won’t find in this Land of And are the curse (22:3), death, sorrow, and tears (21:4).

We’ll be completely satisfied in that Land of And. Are you ready to go?

There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain. —Watts

Earth—the land of trials; heaven—the land of joys.

Read: Revelation 22:1-5

We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. —2 Peter 3:13

Bible in a year:
Exodus 35-37

They don’t get any prettier and sweeter than this, Mary Lou.

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Meg. That is such a peaceful scene.

Wishing you a beautiful Thursday. I appreciate all that you do. Thank you.

[jaycee]

This is just beautiful, Amy! Thank you. I am trying to be real quiet and still today to see if I can get my back better. This is my upper back between my shoulder blades and I’ve had it off and on for years but it would leave as fast as it came. This time it just keeps on. So today, I’m doing very little. I just laid back in my lazyboy and it feels better for this moment but I’m not going to take any chances.

See you all when I can.

[jaycee]

Yum! Sounds delicious!
