How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD of hosts!
JOHN 14:2 (MSG)
There is plenty of room for you in my Father’s home. If that weren’t so, would I have told you that I’m on my way to get a room ready for you?
THE ESSENCE
God has a great home, to which he is preparing to welcome us.
DAILY FODDER
Jesus is the host, ushering us into God's home. He wants to live with us. ¡Mi casa es tu casa!
PRAYER
Jesus, you're an exceptional host — sacrificing your life to welcome us into life in your Father’s estate. Forgive us for setting our sights too low — looking for earth-bound mansions and castles. Encourage us with the big picture and the promise of a home with you. On this dark Saturday I'm enjoying this lift. 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.

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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
