“YHWH will be their light, and they will rule forever.” Rev. 22:5
Last week we discussed what heaven will be like. So it’s on to the
#6 most asked Bible/Christianity question, “What will we do in heaven?”
Most people on earth don’t know exactly what they’re called to
do. We all have some God-given skills, gifts and talents, but often aren’t very
good at putting them into play, like a square peg in a round hole. We may know
what God has equipped us to do, but we can’t find the right place to do it.
Heaven is different. The Bible says, “they will rule forever.”
Who is “they?” That’s us! Our destiny is to become a part of God’s great
management team. We’ll be on-board with God, helping to rule the animals, the
angels, and the universe. How long? Forever!
God is the great “connector,” and He has a slot with your name
on it. In heaven, your leadership role will be whatever is uniquely perfect for
only you. After all, that’s what you’ve been created to do!
And remember that while it’s good to lead and it’s good to
serve God, Genesis 3 says this whole work-thing is cursed, a penalty for our
disobedience. So don’t get too hung-up on looking for work in heaven. But we
will look forward to serving each day, out of gratitude for what has been done
for us.
In His name,
