Enjoying God Forever

“

Still by Great Lake Swimmers

So one of the chief objections that you often here about heaven is that it will be boring.  The Far Side comic captured this feeling well with a drawing of a guy with wings sitting on a cloud listlessly with a thought bubble which said, “I wish I had brought a magazine.”

At church this past weekend, I was deeply convicted on a passage of text that I knew very well.  The exodus story is a often told, much repeated part of the Bible, and as such it is really familiar to many church-goers.  Yet, after being in church for over 30 years, I am being convicted, pleased and overall astounded by the truth found in the great Gospel story of the Bible.

This got me thinking about heaven, and I think that people’s complaint on boredom in heaven is not at all thought out.  We will never cease to learn about God’s attributes.  If we sing a song of praise for ten thousand years, I am confident that God can reveal more of Himself in year 10,001.  We will always be able to tune ourselves a bit more to the Great Key.  This is a great comfort and joy which we should all revel in more.
