2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, 3
I have mentioned before how much Stephanie and I enjoy tent camping. But, we have had several situations where our tent was not the best place to stay the night. This summer we made a late stop in LaJunta, Colorado. When we started to set up the tent it was extremely windy. We got the tent put up in 40 moh winds with stronger gusts. Stephanie went to take a shower and I stayed with the tent. It was all I could do to keep it from shredding and complete destruction. When Steph returned, we had no choice but to pack up and head to the nearest Holiday Inn. The tent just wasn't designed for that weather.
Sometimes our Earthly body is not adequate for life hear either. I am sure we all have been touched in some way by cancer. We all know people who have died from heart disease, or other physical ailments. This life is not always easy. The great news? We have an eternal home God has prepared for us. All the moaning and groaning of this life will pass away. Praise God he loves us so much he is willing to share his kingdom with us. My body and my life here on Earth is no more adequate than a tent camper. I left that inadequate home for the safety of a Holidsy Inn. Say yes to the Father. Say yes to a permanent, safe dwelling prepared for you. God is ready for you, are you ready for him?
