OUR HOME IS IN GOD

OUR HOME IS IN GOD




We have an earthly home
The place where
We spend most of our time


And the place
Where we lay our head
At night


This home is usually temporary
As we move
From time to time


But we have a PERMANENT HOME too
And that home is in God


And it lasts-FOREVER-and ever


“You are no longer strangers
Or sojourners-but ...members
Of the HOUSEHOLD OF GOD........” Ephesians 2:19


The above line was addressed
To the GENTILES


A line of inclusion


Letting them know
That they were not excluded
Just because they are not Jews


And I think
It is important
To let ALL PEOPLE today KNOW


That they belong
To the HOME OF GOD
If they just BELIEVE


Believe in love
Believe in his forgiveness
Believe in his kindness


And-believe-also-in Jesus-
HIS SON=the SON of God


“I rejoiced
With those who said to me:


'Let us go to
The house of the Lord'” Psalm 122:1


“Is it not written:
'My house will be called
A house of prayer
FOR ALL NATIONS'” Mark 11:17


Our houses will be called homes
HOMES for God
Homes for prayer


OUR HOME is in the Lord our God


One of the great lines
Of the GOSPEL
Of the new testament
Is found in John 15


“REMAIN in me
As I remain in you


No branch can bear fruit
By itself


It must remain in the vine


NEITHER can you bear fruit
Unless you REMAIN IN ME” John 15:4


OUR HOME is in God
And we are his branches


ALL good things stem from him


This earth=is our TEMPORARY home
Where all kinds of crazy
And bad things can happen to us


Not so-if-we-REST
Under the PROTECTION of God's LOVE


Nothing can permanently damage us
For our home is IN GOD
And he is our protection


“You are my hiding place


You will PROTECT ME
From trouble


And surround me
WITH SONGS of deliverance” Psalm 32:7


Dear Lord
HELP US to know


That we are
NEVER really strangers


That our home
Is ALWAYS in you


THAT OUR HOME
IS ALWAYS IN GOD
