HEAD
As I read Revelations 4, I am amazed, confused, and excited all at the same time. It’s important to know that we don’t have to understand everything in the Bible. The most important thing to understand is that God loves us a TON and that He WINS! Beyond that, Revelations helps us to begin to picture what Heaven will be like and form a picture of God in our minds. We, however, know that anything we can imagine is just a slight glimpse of how amazing and beautiful Heaven really is. Revelation 4 tells us about God sitting on a throne with a rainbow surrounding it. There are so many other visions in Revelation 4, but this is one I can relate to and picture in my mind. God initially sent the rainbow in Genesis as a reminder that He always keeps His promises. I love how that image appears again here as His promises are being fulfilled in Heaven. The text goes on to explain how the creatures and the elders fell down in front of the throne and worshiped the Lord. The most amazing part of Heaven is that we get to live forever in the direct presence of the Lord and worship Him face to face. It just doesn’t get any better than that!

Get a blank piece of paper and draw a picture of what you think Heaven and the throne of God look like based on what you’ve learned from Revelation 4.

Heaven is an amazing place simply because we get to live forever in the presence of the Lord. I hope that you, your friends, your classmates, your family, and people in our community will all join together in Heaven one day. It is our job as God’s children to share His Word and tell people about Him. Tell somebody how much God loves them today so we can make Heaven crowded!
Prayer: Lord, I don’t know exactly what Heaven is going to be like, but it sounds amazing! I want to live in Your presence forever, and I want everybody I know to join me in Heaven. Give me the strength and desire to tell other people about You every day. Amen.
