Heading Home - Where are You Going?

Prayer – Lord, my heart is not at all troubled  because I am looking forward to being “at home” —in Your Father’s house someday…forever with You! I have faith in You that You will keep Your promise. Come quickly, Lord.   

It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. Hebrews 11:8

Meditate. Consider “Where is Home?” 

Where is home—where are you going? Abraham went where God told him to go without knowing where he was going. He acted in faith. Jesus had promised us a home in heaven…in His Father’s house. 

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. John 14:1-3

We know that Jesus is in Heaven—seated at God’s right hand—the favored place. See Like 22:69 and Hebrews 1:3. Where is your favorite place? Are you looking forward to going to Heaven—the new and eternal home for all believers. 

Verse of Salvation ~ While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God. Even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered. In this way, God qualified him as a perfect High Priest, and he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him. Hebrews 5:7-9
