In a moment our design and destiny will become fulfilled in a way we could have never dreamed. We will begin the eternity of worship as we never were able to imagine. We will be at home with that for which we were designed and destined.
When Jesus was asked about the most important commandment, He immediately pointed us to loving God. Why? Because from the very beginning, God's Word shows us that this is why we were created. The beginning chapters of the Bible show us the vision of our original design - designed to worship God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. And then, the closing chapters of the Bible give us a glimpse into our ultimate destiny in Christ Jesus, our Lord. We are able to get a peek into the very throne room of our Lord through John's revelation. We see the four creatures, the twenty-four elders, and a myriad of angels who are continually worshipping God as they sing, "To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" (Rev. 5:13).
In all of our imaginings about the mysteries of heaven there is one thing we can know with assurance: God has revealed our very destiny in His everlasting kingdom and we discover that it is a glorious, extended time of worship, glorifying Him forever. Yes, we were created to worship and in a moment, in that moment, our destiny will be fulfilled . . . to worship Him forever! mjm
