Streets of Gold

Revelation 21:1-22:5     Joel Keller

Streets of gold.  Yep, that highly sought-after item that seems to dictate decisions made around the world.  Yes, God knows the value of gold, but He puts it into perspective for us by showing us how He will use it in heaven.  It lines the streets upon which we will tread.  Isn't that just like God?  He puts life into perspective; shows us the things that are really important.  Like eternity.  Is there anything more crucial than where someone will spend eternity?

No more darkness.  And God will be our light (Rev.22:5).  We earthlings seek the sun. Some would say we worship the sun.  We love the warmth in our joints.  The light gives us the vitamin D we need to battle depression in our bodies.  I know these seem like random thoughts ... because they are.  Reading the details of the culmination of history, and reading the end of the story - it causes me to gaze off into the distance with a glazed look in my eyes.  It's so detailed, so intricate, so specific, that I simply need to rest & say, "Daddy, I'm so glad You know what You're doing.  I trust in You."

So, little ones, trust in Jesus today.  You don't have to have it all figured out.  He's got it all figured out already.  He says, "I got this, JK."  Rest today, in the knowledge that if you are His, He will take you home in due time.  And we will walk together on streets of gold.
