Home
5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 2 Corinthians 5:5-9
What do you think of when you hear the word home? Is it a physical dwelling place that you reside in with four walls, a roof and doors? Is home where your heart is? Or, is home your family and friends and what makes up your life? If you look at your body as your home on earth, it is a dwelling place for the Spirit that lives within you. The spirit guides you and directs you and makes you whole. If you don't have the Spirit or let the Spirit guide you, things can feel empty inside and including being lonely if you ignore how the Spirit leads you. What do you do to take care of your home? Do you treat it well or let the world tell you what you should do? Your body has many parts, physical and mental, spiritual and what we take into our body affects us daily. Take a moment reflect on God leading you through your day with the Spirit, and if the Spirit guides you, shouldn't you take care of the home the Spirit resides in until you eventually go home?
Have a great weekend.
