Poem : Glimpse
Scripture : Ezekiel 1:1-28
Poem
God shared glimpses of heaven a few times to man
Words can’t begin to describe the sight
It’s so amazing, we fall to our knees in worship
There are angels singing
Colors, sights and sounds
All senses magnified beyond description
One day we will be fully immersed
Surrounded by God’s glory
His Prophets were his messengers
They were His voice to His chosen people
They were faithful and fully devoted
Trying to serve the best they knew how
Listening for direction
Listening for guidance
God calls his children to serve
We all are given heavenly gifts
Some teach, some pray
Some lead, some follow
Others listen in various ways
There are glimpses of heaven on earth
There is nothing more special
Than listening to young children
Recite and learn Gods word
They are focused on nothing else
For a short time, all they are focused on
Is reciting verses from the bible
Learning Jesus Christ came from heaven
To die on a cross and save everyone
Having a small soft voice recite this gift
Is priceless and beyond measure
God gives us glimpses from heaven
This is just one example
The next time you are having a bad day
Remember that soft voice saying God’s word
Amen!
Story behind the poem
I was working a normal mid-week children’s ministry. They run the program in three 30 minute sessions. One of the sessions had 7 and 8-year-old (1st and 2nd grade) recite, memorize verses. Close your eyes, block everything and imagine a young person with a small soft voice reciting John 3:16. Then explain what it really means, it gives me cold chills. All I can describe is a “glimpse from heaven”. God provides a few examples in scripture displaying the “Glory of the Lord”. If you are having a bad day, close your eyes and picture a small soft voice reciting Gods word.
