All This and Heaven Too

“Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.” (Psalm 73:24)

As Christians we have experienced God’s counsel numerous times, first receiving His counsel in the matter of salvation.  His word said, “Come unto me,” and we came.  His word counseled, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.  His word secured us a place in Heaven.

Following salvation He has counseled us in many things including choosing a spouse, selecting a vocation, and many large and small things in between.  Our Savior is called, “Wonderful Counselor.”  We seek His counsel through His word and through prayer.  Sometimes He stops us in our tracks and counsels us to consider our ways and then shows us the way we should go. 


One day He will say it is time to come home.  He will receive us into His presence in Glory.  What a time that will be!  I look around at all His provision down here and then think about the home over there and I exclaim, “All of this and Heaven too!”
