Heaven on Earth

“That your days may be multiplied … as the days of heaven upon the earth”(Deuteronomy 11:21).

This promise to the children of Israel was conditional on their dedication to keeping God’s Word, having it in their heart, and teaching it to the next generation. Notice the preceding verses: “Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates” (verses 18-20).

The principle still seems to hold true today. If our interest and time is in devotedness to the Lord and to His Word, we will have a very happy life. That’s not to say that there won’t be sorrow along the way, but we will be able to say, “As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing” (2 Corinthians 6:10). This is indeed heaven on earth. And heaven in reality will certainly be beyond anything we experience here.
