This morning the Lord took me to one of my favorite spots and told me He wanted me to camp out there for a while.
It means so much to me when that happens – having read and pondered these verses for so many years, and then to have the Lord say but there’s more for you to see, to experience, to enjoy!
“Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in your house, Lord.” Psalm 23:6 CEV
I want you to look at these words – kindness, love, always be, each day, forever.
If you’ve ever been tent camping you know the importance of having the tent poles secure. They are what hold up the canvas, keep you for getting wet in a rain storm, keeping your bed covered at night and giving you a place of comfort.
The Apostle Paul said that are lives are like a tent.
“Our bodies are like tents that we live in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God will give each of us a place to live. These homes will not be buildings someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last forever.” II Corinthians 5:1 CEV
It’s God’s kindness and love that secure our tents, each day, they are our support. They are always with us, every day of our lives. And when we are finished with our temporary tents on this earth, He promises to bring us to His home that will last forever.
I hope that has the same impact on you that is has on me!
His kindness and love are with me EACH DAY of my life. Always! It’s not something I have to wonder about or hope for. It’s a promise of God, it’s unbreakable, it will stand forever.
Those words have meaning – they are powerful, they bring strength and support even in the darkest times.
Kindness, Love, Always Be, Each Day, Forever
The older I get the more I appreciate or treasure the word of God. I have more life experience to prove His faithfulness.
“Even when you are old I will be the same. And even when your hair turns white, I will help you. I will take care of what I have made. I will carry you, and will save you.” Isaiah 46:4 NLV
I really enjoy camping, I do. So, for the next few days or maybe even weeks, you’ll find me sitting in my tent of life, supported by the poles of God’s love, kindness, each day enjoying His presence.
You’re invited to camp out with me!
