Whenever we pray “which art in heaven”, the Lord is teaching us to THINK about a PLACE that is very DIFFERENT than where we are. Most of us don’t. It’s easy to get trapped into thinking that where we are and what we feel is “all there is”. Take a minute and try this exercise. What is life like in Heaven? It may feel strange at first. Most of us are so focused on the material world that we barely have a concept of the spiritual. This is NOT what the Lord wants for us. “Set your minds on what is above, not what is on earth” (Colossians 3:2). Praying the Lord’s prayer will help.
Isn’t it wonderful to look forward to being with Him in heaven? Even now, that anticipation is a blessing and a comfort. I’m reminded…”when we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be…when we all see Jesus, we’ll sing and shout the victory!”
Randy Alcorn’s book entitled, “Heaven”, addresses that very question, what is life like in Heaven? Fascinating,Absolute! Our Father, lives…in Heaven!
