Paul made and mended tents. It required a lot of time and patience, so Paul had a lot of time to think about things … ...read more

     | 9,680 views

    Today, we look to our future with hope and with courage because we know that Christ our Savior will lead us safely on our journey from earthly tent to heavenly home when our time comes … just as He has done for Guy and for all the saints who love Him.

    In his second letter to his friends in the city of Corinth, Paul described these physical bodies that we live in as “earthly tents” … something that Paul would know a lot about. One of the ways that Paul supported himself and his ministry was by making and repairing tents. They didn’t have ...read more

    I/we tend to want to see God's direction clearly. Sometimes he grants that; usually, he doesn't. What he wants from us is the faith to continue on with him even when we don't see where we're going.
