Some biblical heroes had momentary glimpses into heaven. Ezekiel saw God’s glorious throne, but he struggled to describe it. A whirlwind split the skies and revealed God’s throne surrounded by creatures who were later identified as cherubim (Ezekiel 10:1). Lightning ripped through the sky, and above it all was the throne of God as blue as lapis lazuli.

Seated on it was a form that resembled a man, glowing with fire and radiating blinding light. The appearance of a rainbow covered the entire scene. Ezekiel said, “This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking” (Ezekiel 1:28, NIV).

Oh, to contemplate the eternal throne of our Savior. An old hymn says, “God is still on the throne, and He will remember His own.” Whatever you’re facing today, get a glimpse of this truth—God is still on His throne.

With our God before us in all His glory, sitting on the throne of grace, will our hearts dare to say we mistrust Him?
