Devotion
Standing in heaven, looking at earth
David Jacobs

I often wondered what I would do if I had a time machine. Perhaps go back and give me some useful advice. Maybe use the knowledge that I had gained and show it to my younger self. Probably use my knowledge to amass a great fortune considering I know what the future holds. Now, what if I was able to view my life on earth from heaven, similar to what Isaiah says in these verses? How would I change my life then? I would already be in heaven, so that is a promising sign. What would you do differently?

I would do all that I could to help others reach heaven. I had reached it, so I would know that my ways were righteous. Isaiah too did all that he could to prophesize and help the people around him to follow in the ways of the Lord. Isaiah knew that God was supreme, ever-present, and all-powerful. God keeps his promises by punishing the wicked, flooding the world, and leading his children to the holy lands of Israel. If you were able to view earth from heaven, all you could do is try to help everyone on earth to join you. Is it any different being on earth? It is our responsibility, just like Isaiah, to help others to reach God's eternal kingdom. Go forth and do it.

Prayer

Dearest God, maker of heaven and earth, the world is filled with your glories. Glory to all people that walk with you, working to fulfill your prophecies, and saving others that need to be saved. I wish that I can be like Isaiah, the wondrous prophet, and help more people to know of your might and love. Please give me the faith to go from this place and do your bidding. To you I pray, Almighty Father, Amen.
