GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | GOD IS YOUR HOME

1. Grace for the Moment

a) "Grace for the Moment" is a collection of thoughts that are inspirational. They are intended to encourage, to give hope, and to inspire the viewers.

b) Reading a thought can change the way you think about something.

2. Scripture Verse

i) John 4:24 New Century Version (NCV)

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 

3. Thoughts

a) Don't you think you are separated from God, He at the top end of a great ladder, you at the other. Dismiss any thought that God is on Venus while you are on earth. Since God is Spirit (John 4:23), He is next to you: God Himself is our roof. God Himself is our wall. And God Himself is our foundation. 

John 4:23 New Century Version (NCV)

²³ The time is coming when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, and that time is here already. You see, the Father too is actively seeking such people to worship him.

b) Moses knew this. "Lord," he prayed, "you have been our home since the beginning" (Psalms 90:1). What a powerful thought: God as your home. Your home is the place where you can kick off your shoes and eat pickles and crackers and not worry about what people think when they see you in your bathrobe.

c) Your home is familiar to you. No one has to tell you how to locate your bedroom... God can be equally familiar to you. With time you can learn where to go for nourishment, where to hide for protection, where to turn for guidance. Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God's house is a place of peace. God's house has never been plundered, His walls have never been breached.
