How often do you pause to think about what Heaven will be like? Who do you think will be there? What do you think it will feel like? What do you think people will be doing?
You might like to set aside some time today just to sit and contemplate the few Bible verses below.
You might also like to take this opportunity to experiment with a contemplative form of praying with Scripture where you use your imagination to really put yourself in the scene and experience it for yourself. To do this, read the passage a few times first, then close your eyes and ask God to help guide your imagination as you experience yourself in the scene. Give yourself a good 10 mins or so to do this. Who do you see and hear around you? What's the atmosphere like? How do you find yourself feeling as you stand or kneel among thousands of worshippers? How do you find yourself feeling as you stand before God's throne?
You might find after this kind of prayer that God showed you something new or did something deep within you. Many Christians experience this kind of imaginative prayer exercise guided by the Holy Spirit as a very powerful form of prayer.
Here are a few Bible verses on Heaven to contemplate. The first two verses would work well with the form of prayer described above:
"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands." Revelation 7:9
"And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God." Revelation 7:11
"He will dwell with them and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Revelation 21:3-5
