Today’s reading is Revelation 21
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement.”

All,
This stands out because John says, “And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia.” Moses asks God to teach us to number our days(Psalm 90:12). Jesus said He has gone to prepare a place for us. John says there is a specific size to Heaven. How much would you appreciate your relationships if you knew your days were limited? Please pray that we and our friends seek God’s purpose for today for we are not assured tomorrow. Please pray for Tyson’s group.
