Scripture: Revelation (NIV) 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

Observation: As the last book in the Bible comes to an end, in the next to last chapter, we read, “Now the dwelling of God is with men…” In reading that phrase, I heard, the whole plan of God is now reaching its fulfillment! “Now…” God desire in the Garden of Eden is fulfilled. “Now…” the cruel suffering of Jesus on the cross has reached its desired results.   “Now…” the love that God has for His creation can be ceaselessly enjoyed!   “Now the dwelling of God is with men!!!

Application: Oh, how I look forward to being there when the voice from the throne says, “Now the dwelling of God is with men…”

Prayer:   Heavenly Father, nothing can stop the fulfillment of your desire. You will have Your family! You will share eternity with those you love!  Amen
