A Place To Call a Home
I've been so many places as we moved from town to town
So many different addresses
I can hardly write them down
And sometimes wondered what it's like
To call one spot a home
Turning neighbor into friends
With whom we've played and fought and grown
But home is not just where we sleep
Or know the names of streets
Or even just a steeple where
We've gone for Sunday meets
But going where the Shepherd calls
And leads us on the way
It's lying down and waking up
With God at peace today

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 139:17-18 KJV
To follow our Jesus one step at a time
Keep pace with His slow steady stride
Hold tight in the shadows our dear Shepherd’s hand
Let the touch of His rod be your guide
We trust Him because with a baby’s small feet
He walked onto Bethlehem’s street
And He followed until on a rough Roman cross
They nailed both His hands and His feet
Till then from the tomb one step at a time
He walked out to new life the third day
So you see up ahead that He’s waiting for us
In His home at the end of the way

GreatisYour faithfulness.“TheLordismy portion,” says my soul “Therefore I hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:23-24
The book of Lamentations tells us that God is a Father who never gives up on His children. His people had rejected Him and yet even as they were being led away as captives to Babylon; God was already planning for the return of their children and grandchildren. After times of failure and disappointment in my life I have found encouragement by the verse that says, ”He is not ashamed to call them brethren” Hebrews 2:11. In spite of our failures, sins and weaknesses Jesus never turns his back on us just as he didn’t give up on the children of Israel while they were in Babylon. No matter where we are Jesus is always faithful, willing to forgive us and help us find our way home.
When my father passed away and I had to put his financial affairs in order I was surprised to discover that he had put my name on the title to his home. He did this to give to me all that he had. In that same way God is my portion because He has through Jesus Christ put my name and yours on the title to His house. There in heaven waiting for us is a place that is ours because in His great faithfulness He has become our portion and our eternal inheritance.
Maybe this morning you need to just take a moment as you listen to this song again. God remains faithful in the middle of whatever you are facing or wherever your pathway may lead. May God bless and keep you as you trust in Him and His great faithfulness to us all.
