For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.—Hebrews 13:14-16 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise with my life, as I submit my every thought, word and action, to the power of Christ in me and journey on—in His name—toward my forever home with You.
Help me to keep the things
of this world in context, so that I don’t lose sight of the fact that this
world is not my permanent home, but only a temporary stop on my way to a place
which Christ has prepared for me.
Remind me that whatever I
gather here on earth, must remain here, and only what I give away here on earth
can be measured for eternity.
So may I joyfully and
continually give a sacrifice of praise to You, with a grateful heart, as I
boldly proclaim my allegiance to Christ.
And help me willingly do
good at all times and freely share, with those in need, the things You have
given me to use while I remain here on earth—things that are both tangible and
intangible—so that I might please You in my sacrifice and so my time spent here
on earth might count for eternity.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.Help me offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise with my life, as I submit my every thought, word and action, to the power of Christ in me and journey on—in His name—toward my forever home with You.
