at that very moment He'll flood your life with His presence and power.

No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb
will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see
his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
Revelation 22:3-4 David Brainerd was a missionary to the American Indians in New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania. He was born in Connecticut in 1718 and died of tuberculosis at the age of twenty-nine in 1747. Jonathan Edwards preached the funeral sermon and published the diary that David kept.
In his diary, David wrote: "It is impossible for any rational creature to be happy without acting all for God. God Himself could not make him happy any other way...There is nothing in the world worth living for but doing good and finishing God's work, doing the work that Christ did. I see nothing else in the world that can yield any satisfaction besides living to God, pleasing Him, and doing his whole will." Brainerd once said to Jonathan Edwards: "I do not go to heaven to be advanced but to give honor to God. It is no matter where I shall be stationed in heaven, whether I have a high seat or a low seat there. My heaven is to please God and glorify Him, and give all to Him, and to be wholly devoted to His glory."
Heaven is a place of serving our Living God, Jesus Christ, throughout eternity. Today in prayer, thank the Lord that you can serve Him now and give this day fully to Him. Devotional E-Mail by Peter Kennedy; 1/30/2005
