There are lots of jokes about heaven on the internet. Perhaps because the Bible is our best source of information and it is not overly concerned about telling us about heaven.

How often do you turn to prayer to discern what God is doing in your life, and seek to do things according to His will? When things aren’t going right, do you trust your own wits and wisdom first, or quickly turn to prayer to find God’s answers? Do you have a regular prayer routine in good times, where you learn to listen for God’s gentle whisper to your soul, or do you primarily pray when you are in trouble? May we give God all the glory when He uses us to advance His Kingdom.
