Thursday, June 13th | 2 Corinthians 5:1-10

Passage:
1 For we know that if our earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal dwelling in the heavens, not made with hands.
2 Indeed, we groan in this tent, desiring to put on our heavenly dwelling, 3 since, when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 Indeed, we groan while we are in this tent, burdened as we are, because we do not want to be unclothed but clothed, so that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.

6 So we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 In fact, we are confident, and we would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasing to him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. -- 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 (CSB)

Song:
Walk by Faith by Aaron Williams, Jason Ingram, Joe Williams, and Shane Barnard

Lyrics:
I will walk by faith
Through the fire and the flame
You are my hiding place
I will walk by faith
When the levy starts to break
One thing will never change
Yes one thing will never change

Jesus the bright morning star
You are alive and You’re lighting up the dark
Savior I’m trusting in Your name
I will follow You as I walk by faith

I will lift my eyes
To the calmer of the storm
I will not be afraid
I will lift my eyes
To remind my soul again
You are the God who saves
Yes You are the God who saves

The darker the night the brighter the light
That shines You shine

Prayer:
O Lord, from whom all good proceeds: Grant us the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may always think those things that are good, and by your merciful guidance may accomplish the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
