Key Text: “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2, NKJV).

What does the future hold for you? What lies ahead? It might seem daunting, exciting, scary, and wonderful all at once. Know that Jesus is faithful and that His words are true (Revelation 3:14). There will yet be turbulent times ahead (Matthew 24:21, 22), but He has promised that He will never leave nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). He will do exactly what He says He will do—He always has and always will (Hebrews 10:23). And “he who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13, NKJV).

Regardless of the number of days left for us on earth, we should fix our eyes on Jesus, looking steadfastly to Him. This is not always easy in a world that clamors for our attention, but may we, like David, say, “My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net” (Psalm 25:15, NKJV).

This week, let’s learn about the reward of heaven (Matthew 5:12, Revelation 22:12); what heaven will be like; and ultimately, how incredible it will be to finally be with the One who created us, loved us unto death, has redeemed us from our sin, and is coming back soon. We need to just hold on in faith until then.
