Tent Pegs

If someone knocked at your door today and asked if you could be ready to move immediately because the Lord had an assignment.....Would you be able to?


I guess the question really is  "How deep are your tent pegs?"   If you have ever camped out you know that tents can come up easy or they can come up hard.  We all know in our heads that the stuff around us is staying here but do you ever wonder how much of what you own really OWNS you?


Father, in the sweet name of Jesus, we come.  We ask for Your help and grace to hold lightly the things of this earth.  It is difficult.  We live here, we work, have families and go about our business and Yours. 
I think that many times our "tent pegs" have gotten hammered in  too deeply.  We are not easily moved, not only physically but mentally and spiritually as well.  Lord,  thank you for Your grace and mercy as You once again teach us Your ways and enable us to walk this time here on earth with a distinct view and reminder of our Heavenly Home.  We long for You but at the same time are so easily caught up here.  Forgive us Lord for becoming so "earth bound", we dedicate ourselves and our ways to You once more.  Please make us moveable!
Love,
Your pilgrim.
