Today I am starting a new devotional thought.
On your first day in heaven, who do you want to meet? Of course, my loved ones from the past 100 years on earth will meet me at the gate. I want to see not just my wife but also my mother, grandmother, and grandfather again. I would love for them to introduce me to their grandparents. What a great day that will be!
We will find joy in that moment, but who would you want to meet after that? We all want to see Jesus and the Father, but after that, who do you want to meet?
I want to meet some of the Bible men and women. How curious are you to meet Mary, the mother of Jesus? I want to meet Abraham, Moses, and King David. Wouldn’t you like to talk to Bathsheba? I will sit and talk with Solomon for hours. In heaven, time means nothing, so I know he will have time for me. It will be neat to ask James what it was like growing up with Jesus as his big brother. I wonder if Mary ever told him, “Why can’t you be more like Jesus?”
There are people you’ve heard about in the Bible all your life, but now you’ll have the chance to truly get to know them. Day by day, we will meet them in the daily moments of this devotional.
Tomorrow we will meet Abraham.
I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.
