But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV
What an awesome thought to know that God has prepared a place for someone so unworthy as myself. I am looking forward to seeing that city not made by human hands.
My son preached about Abraham looking for a city whose builder and maker was God. He lived his entire life moving from place to place... always building an alter to worship God but never a home. Abraham knew about that wonderful place that God had prepared for him.
Material things mean nothing in this life. It's good to be able to live comfortable and have things you enjoy as long as those things don't become more important than the one making a way for you to have them. When we forget about our alter and let other things get in the way of worshiping God then it's time to start moving out those things. There are times a person has to miss a church service or can't make it to a prayer meeting, but there should never be a time that a true child of God fails to worship him. Fellowship with Jesus Christ is the most important aspect of our Christian walk. We need to be like Father Abraham and keep looking for that city. We need to make time for God's word, for worship, for fellowship. In the end, we will find that nothing else mattered because you can't take anything with you when you go.
