waiting on heaven

Throughout the Bible we come across verbiage that says our inheritance is waiting for us in heaven. I find such encouragement in this thought, but if I'm going to be honest, I often forget the concept and I get caught up in the "now".

Right now we're snowed in. Right now is the sixth day of a new year. Right now many of my dreams have yet to come true. Right now is pretty important to me; I'm willing to bet right now is pretty important to you as well. You have you're own history in the making, you're own things you're waiting on, you're on moment that matters. Right now matters.

So how do we, as Christians, balance right now with heaven?

How do we keep in front of us the beautiful gift that's waiting on us? The promise from the One who made us. How do remember in our every day lives that what we have waiting on us in heaven is worth waiting on?

I could say things like read your bible daily, pray daily, go to church weekly. Those things are all good, necessary even. But when I pause and ask that question to myself, to my own soul, those things just don't satisfy the depth of the question. How do I balance then and now? HOW do I wait on heaven?

I suppose it's doing this very thing. Pondering the notion. So, today, if you're like us and you're snowed in I encourage you to take the opportunity presented to you in the form of snow and ponder.

Here's to waiting on heaven...right now.
