We would love to provide you with daily devotions that support the message theme from the prior Sunday. Missed the sermon from this last week? Here it is! Feel free to share the link with anyone you'd like!
Day 1 | A Glimpse of Eternity
Devotional
Heaven is not a mystical realm of clouds and harps, but a completely recreated world where God will dwell with His people. Revelation 21 describes the New Jerusalem as an enormous city, approximately 1,400 miles in each dimension, with room for billions of people. In this perfect world, God Himself provides all light, and there will be no natural disasters, decay, or effects of sin. Contrary to popular belief, believers will have physical bodies, engage in meaningful work, and create things as acts of worship. This understanding of eternity should transform our lives. It gives us genuine hope during difficult times—not wishful thinking, but confident expectation based on God's promises. Our time on earth is just a tiny fraction of our existence, yet what we believe about eternity shapes how we live today, and how we live today determines where we spend eternity.
Bible Verse
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
- Revelation 21:4
Reflection Question
Reflect on the grandeur and perfection of the New Jerusalem. How does this vision of eternity change your perspective on your current struggles and challenges?
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank You for the promise of a perfect eternity with You. Help me to live today with the hope and assurance of what is to come. Amen.

Day 2 | Living with Hope
Devotional
Understanding eternity gives us genuine hope during difficult times. This hope is not wishful thinking, but a confident expectation based on God's promises. When we face trials, we can hold on to the assurance that our future is secure in Christ. This hope transforms our perspective and gives us strength to endure.

"However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived"—the things God has prepared for those who love him.'"
- 1 Corinthians 2:9

Consider the hope that comes from knowing God has prepared unimaginable things for those who love Him. How does this hope influence your daily life and decisions?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope that comes from Your promises. Help me to live each day with the confident expectation of the future You have prepared for me. Amen.
