I Go to Prepare A Place


Memory Verse:
In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:2-3 NASB

for I go to prepare a place for you. Prepare…build…a place for you. Remember the Jewish custom of the bridegroom building onto his father’s house. That Bridegroom is Jesus and the church is His Bride. Jesus was telling His disciples that He was going to prepare a place in heaven for them. That declaration is for all believers throughout all time. That means that a lot of heavenly homes to be prepared. We can only dream what our new “home” in heaven will be like. Considering the glorious creation that God has done so far, we can anticipate truly awesome homes…or domiciles built just for us.

Will there be a home for you in Heaven? Are you a child of God? Do you know what Jesus has done for you…sacrificing Himself on the cross over two thousand years ago for your sin? Believe, repent, praise and exalt Him. There will be a home waiting for you as a place to reside in Heaven where we will be worshiping the Lord Jesus on His Throne.   

Fresh Grapes
Heavenly Food
Prayer ~ Lord Jesus, we praise You, LORD! You are the Lord our God, the Almighty. You reign victorious. Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us honor You. We wait expectantly for the time to come for the wedding feast of the Lamb and Your bride, who has prepared herself. Revelation 19:6-7

Daily Bible Reading: Ezekiel 31-33

Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table
Eat some fresh grapes. This is a time of grape harvest—the ones growing on the fence between us and our neighbor are particularly good this year. Grapes are one of those healthy foods for protecting and maintaining heart health—especially the red and purple varieties. They are known to reduce the oxidization of LDL cholesterol, reducing inflammation in the lining of the arteries. Grape juice and wine from those grapes are good…but the best value for arteries and skin is just to eat them whole and fresh. Enjoy!
