“THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME”

SATURDAY
MI DAILY DEVOTION
“THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME”

(Revelation 21:10- 11) 10- “And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11- Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;”

I’ve read on the internet about the best places to live in, about the nice islands and the homes of the wealthiest people in the USA. But, if you’re away from home; whether you’re in an exclusive place, in an exclusive apartment or Island with all the luxury and beauty of the place… I believe that at the end of the day you will still say; “THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME…” For those who came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, as the song says; “This world is not my home; I’m just a passing through. My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon me from heavens opened door. And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.”You may have been to the most beautiful places in the world, but nothing here on earth that can be compared to what God had prepared for us in heaven.

(Revelation 21:1; 3- 4) 1- “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  3- And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.  4- And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
