My whole being thirsts for God, for the living God.
When will I come and see God’s face?
2 CORINTHIANS 5:6-7 (CEB)
So we are always confident, because we know that while we are living in the body, we are away from our home with the Lord. We live by faith and not by sight.
THE ESSENCE
We are energized by confident trust in the future God promises, that being life in his presence.
DAILY FODDER
What about the future energizes you to tackle today's challenges?
PRAYER
Loving God, I'm grateful you've promised a future that involves being with you. It's so hard to focus on you and your agenda while the world is tugging me in the opposite direction. Might your indwelling Holy Spirit give me the confidence to move foward, even when I can't yet see how things are going to work out. I'm trusting you with my life. You're trustworthy. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
