One day you’re imagining and planning out your multitude of great ideas. Then, a stroke. And suddenly you’re calculating where your left foot needs to go next. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians “that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.” And I’m here to tell you that a serious change in your health can come like that too. That’s why I’m so thankful that you and I don’t walk around oblivious to the consequences of not being prepared for that time when we’ll leave good ol’ planet Earth.
Because that thief in the night ain’t gonna be able to take our true treasure.
Nope. And that’s because you and I stored that up in Heaven.
Yeah, what good is a treasure if it only lasts as long as you do? Well, it’s an awesome treasure, if you’re gonna last forever. Because then it will too. So, there’s that.
But where’s that?
In order for something to last forever, it’s gonna have to be somewhere where things don’t break down, or rust, or get chewed up by moths, worms, and other little critters. It’s gonna have to be in a place where there’s no compromised atmosphere that can oxidize and turn you and your stuff into dust.
Fortunately, there IS a place that meets all that criteria and WAY more. It’s the place I wrote and sang about several years ago. And it’s the pure, perfect place where everyone is invited but so few choose to go. That’s why I’m so thankful that you and I will know each other forever…
In The House Of The Lord
Father God,
You never leave me You never forsake me.
And Your Word…
Gives me courage to go where you take me.
You are with me through each dire upheaval.
With You in me I will fear no evil.
As I walk through the shadow of death…
I will sing till my very last breath…
Green pastures, still waters…
Goodness and mercy for your sons and daughters…
True love dwells in the House of the LORD.
Each person, each nation…
Can be renewed through Your sweet restoration…
True love dwells in the House of the LORD.
Father God,
You made a Way for my total redemption.
I believe…
Jesus died to provide that exemption.
He’s my shepherd through thorns and thru clover.
He’s my new wine, and my cup runs over.
As I walk through the shadow of death…
I will sing till my very last breath…
(repeat chorus)
