Revelation 4:1
After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.

Do you remember what happened when Jesus died on the cross? The veil was torn from top to bottom and now there’s no need for a temple because Jesus gave us an all-access pass to God. When John was called up into heaven, he was given a glimpse of the future. And God didn’t want him to keep it to himself. He wanted you to know what was coming and to know that the door of heaven is open for you too!

Psalm 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Take a moment and look up today! It’s Ascension Day, the day Jesus ascended up into heaven so that He could go prepare a place for you! But He didn’t leave you without help. When He went up, He sent the Holy Spirit down—to guide us, comfort us, and keep our eyes fixed on the One who knows it all: God.

Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

It’s hard to imagine God placing each star in the heavens, and yet the Bible says He knows them all by name. Not one of them goes beyond His divine notice. And if He is spending time thinking about the names of the stars, you can be certain He thinks about you by name too!

Psalm 123:1
I lift up my eyes to You, to You who sit enthroned in heaven.

There’s something about lifting your head up to the heavens. On a clear day, you can see the beautiful blue sky, the puffy clouds, the bright sun warming the earth. And no matter what you’re facing that day, it just makes you feel a little better. Especially because if God was the one who made all that happen, then you can be confident He will help you with whatever you’re facing.

Luke 21:28
When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

Jesus did His best to prepare His followers for what would happen before His return—and honestly, it wasn’t pretty. He spoke of wars, earthquakes, and persecution spreading like wildfire. But all of it would point to one final conclusion: Jesus coming back. And His message to them—and to you—is simple: no matter how dark the world may seem, your redemption is near.

Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

The picture painted here is bleak. There is nothing to rejoice in and yet the prophet chooses to do just that…rejoice. And it’s because he’s anchored his heart to someone greater. When that happens, you don’t rejoice because of your circumstances, but despite your circumstances. Because circumstances change daily, but God never changes. And that’s something to rejoice in!
