My Daily Meditation
Today’s reading
The Second Epistle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter 5:1-8
1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we have a building given of God, that is, an house not made with hands, but eternal in the heavens.
2 For therefore we sigh, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heaven.
3 Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked.
4 For indeed we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened because we would not be unclothed, but would be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 And he that hath created us for this thing, is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. (a)
6 Therefore we are always bold, though we know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
7 (For we walk by faith, and not by sight.)
8 Nevertheless, we are old, and love rather to remove out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord. (b)
