David Jeremiah Daily Devotional (October 22, 2025) Pleasures Forevermore.
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
Recommended Reading: Psalm 16:11 - You will show me the path of life;In Your presence is fullness of joy;At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
An often-seen caricature of heaven involves pudgy-looking residents dressed in white robes with halos and wings floating about on clouds while playing golden harps. Imagine doing that all day for all eternity! Could anything be more boring? No wonder the world, and many Christians, imagine heaven to be a boring place.
Such images have no bearing on biblical reality, of course. Is God’s creation a boring place? No—therefore, the new heavens and new earth will not be boring either. Do you think a day spent in the presence of Jesus Christ when He was on earth was boring? No—therefore, time spent in His eternal Kingdom will not be boring either. If the image of the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21 is any indication, eternity will consist of “pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11). The apostle Paul quoted the Old Testament when he said that we can’t imagine the things God has prepared for those destined for heaven (1 Corinthians 2:9).
Prepare now to use your gifts and abilities in ways never imagined as you serve and enjoy God forever.
There is never a panic in heaven. W. Ian Thomas
