"Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me?" says the Lord. Acts 7:49 NIV
I don't know everything about Heaven, but I know one thing: Heaven is B I G!!!
God says that Heaven is His throne. Not His whole house, just where He sits to rule! And earth is His footstool. Wow! Now that will make you think!
If the earth is His footstool? If I remember correctly, the earth is a mass some 24,000 miles in circumference. In fact, the country of the United States represents about 6% of the land mass of the world, and yet it has almost 4 million square miles of dry land! I have driven 1,000 miles in one day and it wears you out; can you imagine driving cross country, or travelling around the world? I have flown to the other side of the world and I lost a day getting there. This earth seems big to me! But to God, it's only a footstool.
Then we consider Heaven! Wow! All the angels, thousands upon ten thousands. The mansions for all the saints, the streets of gold. God basically says when talking about Heaven: You ain't seen nothing yet!
And, yet, Heaven is only His throne!
I think the point is God is Big! God is an awesome and wondrous God, larger than our human minds can take us!
And yet He cares for you and me! Doesn't it make you want to love Him?
