January 28: Hebrews 11:13-16

Key Verse: Hebrews 11:16
Instead, they were longing for a better country – a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Devotion:
How do you feel about “get togethers” where a group of people get together to reminisce about old times when they used to be together, be it from school days or work days or camp days? We like to get together with people who are alike in some manner so we can reminisce about what happened… however, why we get together could be in question...

Do we get together because we genuinely miss the people we used to see? Do we get together to find out all the gossip? Do we get together to make sure we are not missing out on something? And then when we get together, what do we get up to?

All pressing questions which some would not like to be confronted about – but it brings up a point about our lives with Christ; well, a couple of points… Are we willing to sit down with Christ and talk about what we got up to and answer why we did what we did? Are we willing to look Him in the face when He asks us? Are we coming to Christ to find out the gossip or are we coming to Him because we want to be with Him?

God already knows the answers to these questions and He would like us to know the answers before it is too late too. If we have not admitted to ourselves what we get up to, then how are we going to admit to Christ what we have been up to? If we are not willing to come together with Him and discuss all the things we should or should not have done, then are we really ready to face Him. Now is the time to come to Him and admit to all we are...

Points to Ponder:
Do you know what you would say to Jesus face to face?

Are you ready to anything?
