The Craziness of Inauguration Day….

I watched the inauguration of our new President today. I was sad to see the last good bye of our former President, but intrigued by our new one. I watched the crowds of people cheering and screaming as they caught a glimpse of the new first family,
and I couldn’t help but wonder what was happening in heaven all day.
Not to take a way from the importance that this day holds for our country, but...I just can’t help it…. Heaven is on my mind a lot!

Heaven is where the real important stuff is happening. We get so worked up... excited and almost crazy at times over the things we can see with our eyes, you know like...sports... meeting someone famous... great cars and beautiful houses. But the Bible says in Luke 15:10 “ Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”

In the imagination of my heart I can see the angels in heaven waiting in anticipation as one lost soul comes to the valley of decision. I can see them waiting for the moment that soul repents and is forever more, a child of God.
It's easy to get discouraged when looking at all the things we can see with our eyes….like what might happen to us in the next four years.

It's also easy to get encouraged when we look for the things that make joy in heaven.
I wonder.... If we would pray without ceasing for the lost we know and love, maybe the angels will have cause to rejoice more than we could ever imagine.

No matter what happens God is still God. He still wants to save lost souls.
Heaven and hell are still real. And... we still have a job to do. We have to keep our eyes fixed on the eternal.

Remember... This world is not our home we are just passing through. Let’s not live like permanent residents.
