November 30 This House of Clay That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Philippians 3:10,11 There exists in my spirit a desire to break away and be free. I grow tired of being bound by flesh and blood. There are times, during worship, that I feel myself being lifted into a glorious realm with the Lord. The feeling is indescribable. Wonderful doesn’t come close to revealing the freedom that comes in pure, unfiltered worship. It is during those times that I moan with creation for it all to be over. I want to be with Jesus. I long for the labor, the fighting, the sickness, the pain, the misery to be ended. I know my feelings are shared by millions of other believers. This passage by John Welch echoes my sentiments: My desire to remain here is not great, knowing that so long as I am in this house of clay, I am absent from the Lord: and if it were dissolved, I look for a building not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. There is coming a day, in the near future, when we will shed this house of clay. The boundaries will dissolve, the walls will come down, the limits will cease to be...we will be free. Until that time, we must fight for every moment to be with Jesus. We must tackle every trial, we must bring down every thought that lifts its head above the knowledge of Christ, and we must flee every temptation that seeks to dilute our relationship with the Lord. My friend, as this year quickly comes to an end, determine in your heart to not allow anything to hold back your worship. Soon this clay house will crumble and we’ll be free. 1 Chronicles 28; 2 Peter 2; Micah 5; Luke 14 Steve Hill Ministries | P.O. Box 612288, Dallas, TX
