In heaven,
we don't just sing and
worship all day, do we?
"To the end that my glory may
sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will
give thanks unto thee forever".
Psalm 30 : 12
We read in the Bible about
angels singing and praising God day and night, and we can't imagine
doing that all the time. But they are singing because they are
glad, not bored, tired or old. They are expressing happiness and
joy. No one in the universe is happier than God, so living in
heaven with God is happy and cool.
Imagine that you are a tadpole. All your life you've lived only
in the water. You know that someday you will become a frog and
get to live on land. But while you are a tadpole, if anyone tries
to explain life on land to you, it won't sound very appealing.
That's the way it is with heaven. Until you get there, it may
be hard to understand what's so great about it. But once you get
there, you will have a new, perfect body and you will be happier
than you have ever been before.
ACTIVITY
Read Psalm 29. It was first written as a song of praise to God,
but the music has gotten lost. Why don't you write a tune for
the first 4 verses? Teach it to your family and your Sunday School
class. If you have trouble writing a tune, you can sing the words
to a familiar tune. Sing it to God and then share it with your
friends.
