Revelation 21:1 (ESV) — Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the
first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
NOTE: I wonder why
there is no longer a sea. It does not say that there is no longer lakes or
water, but there is no sea. Seventy percent of the earth is sea, but the new
earth will be different. And so will the stars. What does that mean? Will we be
on a new planet? Will God recreate the entire universe? It says they passed
away. Does that mean that God removed them or that it burn out in x billion
years? It does not say. What do we learn from this new verse? God has the power
to recreate the mess that we created in our x thousands of years of existence
on the planet. God is infinitely powerful. God has a plan. God can do whatever
he chooses. God is only limited where he chooses to be limited. I need to trust
God in all things. That is hard. It is not his power that I must trust in, but
his will and his plan. I need to have faith in that plan.
PRAYER: Father
forgive me for my lack of faith so often. What I see as failures is you working
your will for my life. It is hard because I can't see the final design. Help me
to rest in your control.
