We look forward to our heavenly home for ourselves and for many generations

Day 164: Psalms 48:12-14

            Psalm 48:12 Walk about Zion, And go all around her. Count her towers; 13Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces; That you may tell it to the generation following. 14For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death.

            As a small-town resident comes to the big city for the first time and is overwhelmed by the massive size, the incredible skyscrapers, the beauty, and the magnificence of the architecture, we will one day enter the celestial city. We will be in awe of all Your hands have made.

            These earthly cities carry some majesty, some splendor, but they are only a dim reflection of that greater city to come. Yes, the earthly Jerusalem was appointed by God to house His people temporarily. In its glory days, it was glorious. Solomon had completed the temple and the palaces. But that city and its glory were fleeting. God will one day complete what He showed us there. Our God who is forever and ever will finally bring us home. He will be our guide even to death. And afterward, we will live with Him forever in His home.

            We tell these glories to our children so that they too will join us by grace through faith in God’s glorious eternal kingdom purchased and prepared by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ brought me to Himself at a very early age. I began seeking the Lord and writing prayer journals in my early teens and have continued to grow in my knowledge and experience of prayer. I am still learning and growing in my prayer life and long to help others grow in their prayer lives as well. I am not an expert, but a practitioner who needs God to continue to teach me to pray. Prayer is both simple, yet also profound. It is deep and draws us into the depth of God, but it is also so easy and wondrous that we can cry out to God with "Abba, Father" prayers because of the work of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Prayer comes from God's heart, works in our hearts, and teaches us to go back to seek God's heart!
