Hymn Devotional

The Resurrection And the Life Everlasting

     This hymn I am not familiar with, but it has a message that we need to hear. actually when I pulled it up, these two hymns appeared. They both paint a picture of what "Our Promise Land" will be like.

     The second hymn points out what heaven will be like. I especially like the phrase, 'For work itself is love.' (For when we truly love doing what we do, it doesn't appear as work.) It will be a place that is filled with Light,  with Love. There will be no sin, nor death. Every tear will be wiped away, so there won't be any pain. This will be a wonderful place, for God is Love and He cares deeply for all of us!

     All we need to do is to ask Jesus to be our Guide, to lead us safely into "Our Promise Land".

     May your faith continue to grow as we put our trust in Him, knowing that He will see us through our stressful situations. May the Lord open up your eyes to see His mighty army supporting us as we seek to be in His kingdom!

   

Let us Pray:

Lord, 

    We want to thank You for having us count the cost of following You. For You have told us over and over to stop and consider what it would cost us. We want to be faithful as we seek You out. Help us to keep our eyes on that land beyond the sea. May we have a glimpse of what heaven is like through Your word.

     It seems like this world offers us all sorts of promises for fame and glory. But Father, as we continue to press on, we see that You only offer us what we truly need to help our faith to increase.

     May we continue to press on to maintain that intimate relationship with You. Help us as we strive on to that higher ground and catch a gleam of glory bright!

     I pray this for all , that we will continue to strive for that closeness.

In Your precious name,

Amen.
