Show me the wonders in Heaven.

 Show Me the Wonders in Heaven

A Reflection on Psalm 19:1, Revelation 21:1-3, and Matthew 6:10

Show me the wonders in heaven—not with my mortal eyes,

But with the eyes of faith that see beyond the earthbound skies.

Lift the veil of time and space, if only for a breath,

That I might glimpse the glory that outlasts the shadow of death.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. (Psalm 19:1)

The wonders of heaven—a city not made by hands,

Streets of gold, gates of pearl, the river of life that expands

From the throne of God and the Lamb, where the tree of healing grows,

And the light of His presence banishes all sorrows and all woes.

Show me the angels who worship day and night,

The elders casting crowns, the seraphim in flight.

Let me hear the chorus, “Holy, holy, holy,”

And join the song of the redeemed, both humble and unholy,

For by Your grace, I have been washed and made a guest

At the banquet of the King, where weary souls find rest.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

Show me the wonders not just as a distant dream,

But as the present reality that fuels my hope, my esteem.

For heaven is not only future; it breaks into the now

When I pray, “Your kingdom come,” and before Your throne I bow.

I long for that day when faith becomes sight,

When I see Your face and walk in everlasting light.

But until then, O Lord, let heaven’s wonders fill my soul,

That I may live on earth as one who has already glimpsed the goal.

“Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)

Show me the wonders in heaven—let them shape my prayer,

My hope, my love, my courage, my daily, grateful care.

For the same power that raised You from the grave now lives in me,

And the wonders of Your heaven are my eternal destiny.

Amen.
