Fantastic Friday #722 - Resting Place

Resting Place

This is what the Lord says:

“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
2 Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.

“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word. Isaiah 66:1-2

This week my mom went to her final resting place in Heaven. Do you ever think about where your final resting place is going to be? God clearly outlines that those that are humble and contrite in spirit and fear His word are the ones He looks on favorably. I can say without a doubt that I am not always humble and contrite, and I don't always tremble as I should, but God has created a way through His son Jesus Christ for us to be ones that He can look on with favor. Knowing that mom was always a humble caring individual gave me strength this last week where I know that she is in the place she needs to be. She is no longer suffering but rejoicing in the heavenly realms, where God created a place for all of us. Keep God at the forefront of your lives so that your resting place will be with Him.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
