It was her dad's 50th birthday party. Even though, she wanted to stay up, Patty's mom insisted she go to bed before the company arrived. With the doorbell and all the voices, laughter, and music, the 4 year old could not fall asleep. So when her curiosity could stand it no longer, Patty slipped out of bed and quietly descended the staircase.
To her disappointment, the French doors leading in to the living room were closed. Patty was wise enough to know that it would not be smart to pen the doors and walk in. So stepping up on her tiptoes, she peeked through the keyhole near the door latch. What she saw was unlike any birthday party she'd been to. It was magical!
When it comes to heaven, the writers of the New Testament don't go into specific detail, but they do provide us a keyhole through which we can peek. Far more wonderful than the most elaborate birthday party, heaven promises to be a worship festival that defies words.
The music will be breathtaking. The beauty will be thrilling, The glory of GOD'S presence will leave us straining for words. As the old gospel hymn puts it, "What a day of rejoicing that will be!"
Revelation 5:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
