Glimpses of Heaven

This past Sunday, I sang with the worship team at church. Often when I'm standing there looking out at the congregation, I think about Heaven. I hear the sound of a few hundred voices united in praise and excitement fills my heart. But imagine the sight of a great multitude surrounding the Throne - an innumerable multitude of one heart and one purpose: to glorify their King. Imagine the sound of the angelic choir, undoubtedly singing in more than just four-part harmony. Can you imagine what the voice of the Creator of music must sound like? Truly, it will be unlike any sound we have ever heard, because nothing on earth is equal to Him in majesty and glory. He has given us glimpses into the beauty of song, but we have yet to hear the Singer Himself. "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now [we] know in part; then [we] shall know fully, even as [we are] fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12).
