We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Corinthians 5:1. For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. Job 19:25-27.
The world, calls him a wise man, who knows how to make ample provision and to lay up much for his household. But this is foolishness, since he does not know whether it will be a real blessing to his posterity, or not. He is wise indeed, that lays up treasures in heaven, and regulates all things, even his domestic affairs, in such a manner, as to reap the benefit of them hereafter.
O happy soul that lives on high,
While men lie grovelling here!
His hopes are fixed above the sky,
And faith forbids his fear.
He cannot let his Saviour go
To hold his riches fast;
Or hunt for empty joys below.
And lose his heaven at last.
His pleasures rise from things unseen,
Beyond this world and time;
Where neither eyes nor ears have been,
Nor thoughts of mortals climb.
He looks to heaven’s eternal hills,
To meet that glorious day.
Dear Lord, how slow thy chariot wheel!
How long is thy delay.
