A Perfect World
July 4, 2018
He who was seated on the throne said, I am making everything new!
Revelation 21:5
Katie was given a school assignment to write an essay entitled My Perfect World. She wrote: In my perfect world . . . ice cream is free, lollipops are everywhere, and the sky is blue all the time, with only a few clouds that have interesting shapes. Then her essay took a more serious turn. In that world, she continued, No one will come home to bad news. And no one will have to be the one to deliver it.
No one will come home to bad news. Isnt that wonderful? Those words point powerfully to the confident hope we have in Jesus. He is making everything newhealing and transforming our world (Revelation 21:5).
Paradise is the place of no moreno more evil, no more death, no more mourning, no more pain, no more tears (v. 4)! It is a place of perfect communion with God, who by His love has redeemed and claimed believers as His own (v. 3). What marvelous joy awaits us!
We can enjoy a foretaste of this perfect reality here and now. As we seek to fellowship with God daily, we experience the joy of His presence (Colossians 1:1213). And even as we struggle against sin, we experience, in part, the victory that is ours in Christ (2:1315), the One who fully conquered sin and death.
Lord, thank You that You are making all things new. Help us to live in the hope of the day we will live with You, pure and blameless, on a new earth in Your presence forever and ever.
Gods perfect world is for all who believe in Jesus.
What can we learn about the perfect world to comethe new heaven, the new earth, and the new Jerusalem? In Isaiah 65 we read (as in Revelation 21:4) about the absence of pain and sorrow: The sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days. In this place we will not labor in vain, nor . . . bear children doomed to misfortune . . . . The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpents food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain (vv. 19-25). Isaiah 66:2223 declares that in the new heaven and the new earth all the redeemed will come and bow down before [the Lord].
Righteousness will dwell in this new heaven and new earth (2 Peter 3:13). In this delightfully perfect place, we will worship our holy God who dwells with us.

Gods Great Creation
July 5, 2018
The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.
Psalm 104:12
On a recent visit with some of our grandchildren, we enjoyed watching a web cam that focused on an eagle family in Florida. Every day we would check in on the mom, the dad, and the baby as they went about their daily routine in their nest high off the ground. Each day the parent birds would keep a constant, protective vigil over the eaglet, bringing it fish from a nearby river for nourishment.
This little eagle family depicts for us one image the psalmist gave us of Gods magnificent creation in Psalm 104an array of creation images, of scenes from the work of Gods creative hand.
We see the majesty of Gods creation as it relates to the universe (vv. 24).
We experience the creation of the earth itselfwaters, mountains, valleys (vv. 59).
We enjoy the glory of Gods gift of animals, birds, and crops (vv. 1018).
We marvel at the cycles God created in our worldmorning/night, darkness/light, work/rest (vv. 1923).
What a glorious world God has fashioned with His hands for our enjoymentand for His glory! Praise the Lord, my soul! (v. 1). Each one of us can say thank You to God for all He has given us to appreciate and enjoy.
Praise God! Praise You, Lord, for the wonder of the earth You created.

The beauty of creation reflects the beauty of our Creator.
