I Want to Be Home with the Lord

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5 [8] We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Observation: So many times I ask God to bring me home because it’s so hard to live here at times. I just want peace and to be with my Maker and not deal with the struggles here. Deep down I know I’m here for a reason and it’s not my will, but God’s that must be done.

Application: I need to realize I’m only here because it’s God’s desire that I am and He will decide when it’s time for me to come home to Him. Give each day to God and be quiet and listen to what He has in store for me. Build up my treasures in heaven here so when I get home I will have something to offer.

Prayer: Dear Lord give me the strength and courage to live each day for you. Guide me on how to fulfill the purpose you have created me for and that I will hear the words will done good and faithful servant.
