My prayer today is that every one of us see Jesus with a fresh, clear perspective, as we gather around His table.

It’s only by God’s word that we are renewed, transformed, changed, and renovated by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:5 (NIV) Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

For those of us that will be open to it and willing to trust Him, He’ll show us the areas in our own house that needs a little renovation.

You know what any renovation projects starts with? Decision and Commitment

Seriously, no renovation project is worth investing in without a solid foundation. And without question, in God’s house, love is that foundation.

The first thing about a renovation project is the decision to actually do it. From there, we have to count the cost.

This is why it’s so important for the born-again to grasp the reality that God has built us with the ability to see through the lens of His promises. He wants us to move from an intellectual process to a spiritual one.

So today as we honor fathers, let’s magnify our Heavenly Father and let His instructions inspire us today.

One thing I’m pretty sure all fathers want for their children is success. And our Heavenly Father makes it very clear that He wants success for each of us.

We left off last week looking into what life on the other side of humanity looks like; life in Heaven.

And I know we know these truths, but so often we are so consumed with this life that heavenly realities drift.

Sometimes we simply need to be reminded that God and everything about His creation is eternal, and before the fall we see glimpses of what heaven is like.

This may help, as citizens of heaven, this earth can’t be our priority.

Not only are we citizens of heaven, we’re actually called to be ambassadors for that kingdom.

• Shouldn’t we know about our kingdom if we’re called to represent it?

• So we probably should set our sights on the realities of Heaven

• We probably should think about the things of Heaven

Colossians 3:1-2 (NLT) Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of Heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of Heaven, not the things of earth.
