PROMISE #243 - AUGUST 31
Promise #243:
You can look forward to the new heaven and earth that I have promised.
2 Peter 3:13 (WEB)
But, according to his promise,
we look for new heavens and a new earth,
in which righteousness dwells.
We have something really big to look forward to! ... A new heaven and a new earth! If that is not a cause for celebration, I don't know what is! All the reminders of a fallen world will be gone, and we will have the privilege of enjoying an untainted new residence for eternity! No matter how difficult our circumstances become, we can hold onto the promise of eternal life.
In Jeremiah 29:11, God promises hope and a future to all who belong to Him. So don't lose heart the next time you turn on the television and watch the news! There is a time coming when our God and Father will make a new heaven and a new earth for us!
How amazing will that day be for all those who are in Christ. It is comforting to know we have a good Father, and He keeps all of His promises!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, I thank You that one day, there will be a new heaven and a new earth that I will be able to call home for all eternity. A place where there will be no more weeping or mourning because You make all things new. Help me to be reminded of this during times when the burden of the fallen world around me feels too great to bear.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
