I’m a stranger in these parts;
give me clear directions.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:1 (MSG)
For instance, we know that when these bodies of ours are taken down like tents and folded away, they will be replaced by resurrection bodies in heaven—God-made, not handmade—and we’ll never have to relocate our “tents” again.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We can look foward with confidence to a permanent heavenly home.
DAILY FODDER
How many times in your life have you had to relocate? What will it be like to have a permanent home where you're never an outsider?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank you for the guarantee of a heavenly home. I have a hard time wrapping my head around what that means. In spite of all the good gifts of today I feel unsettled. I'm eager to have a place that is more real and more settled. I know that the resurrection of Christ makes it happen. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
