Morning by Morning, June 1, 2026 — A New Heaven in the Earth One Day and Also in Our Hearts Today
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I begin my day speaking Your name, for there’s power in Your name and peace in Your Presence. …
As I wait for Your leading this morning, this Word comes to mind, speaking of a day to come:
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, 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 heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away’” (Revelation 21:1-4).
One day heaven will come to earth. No more sorrow. No more pain. Death will be swallowed up in the victory of Life. And nothing will separate us from the love and power and Presence of our God. You will be our God and we will be Your people, and You will dwell among us forever and ever.
And, at the same time, we can also embrace Your heaven in us now. As You said long ago, You continue to declare today by Your Spirit to all who have ears to hear and a heart to receive:
“The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:20-21).
We don’t have to wait for the day the New Jerusalem of the Kingdom of God comes down from heaven. And we don’t have to wait to go to heaven when we die. We can have heaven in our hearts today! We can experience and embrace the Kingdom of God within us—right here, right now, this day and every day—as we proclaim You as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in our hearts (1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 19:16).
“For the Kingdom of God is … righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17).
Come, Holy Spirit. Establish the Kingdom of God in my heart today. Come, Lord Jesus. Come rule and reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in my heart today. Come, my Heavenly Father. You are our God and we are Your people, as You dwell among and live within us by Your Spirit. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God, You are One and You are holy and You come to establish Your heaven in our hearts every day as a foretaste, as a first-fruits, as a foreshadowing of that great and glorious day to come when the New Jerusalem comes down from heaven in the “new heaven” and “new earth” to come.
“Nevertheless we, according to His promises, look for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13). Let it be so in me today. All by the power of Your grace at work within me and within all who are called by Your name and embrace You and Your Kingdom in our hearts. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
