I'll Fly Away

I'll Fly Away "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:14 This morning I got up with an old song on my mind, "I'll Fly Away." The song is not heard very much in our modern day church services, but it has such a wonderful message. "Some glad morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away; To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away (I'll fly away)." The words of this beautiful song will someday be the hope of all of Christian's that want to make Heaven their home. It will be a glad day when this day arrives, as the struggles of this life will be over, there will be no more pain, no worry, no stress, no heartaches, as this will all be over. For the ones that will fly away to God's celestial shore there will be only peace and joy awaiting them, as all the things of this world will be done away with, as we will now walk in the paradise that God has prepared for us. However, in order to experience this wonderful day, we have work to do while we are still on this earth. We must prepare ourselves, and be deemed worthy of God letting us fly away to Heaven to be with Him. The demands are not hard, as they only require us to ask Jesus to come into our hearts, make Him first in all we do, and obey His commandments. Each one of you reading this devotional can look forward to flying away with God to Heaven just by following these easy steps. Time is critical however, as we do not know when this day will come, as we are not promised tomorrow. So many people get up each morning and find that this was the last chance they had to make the decision to accept Christ as their Savior. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, don't take the chance of being too late, but take a few minutes this morning to ask Him into your heart. He is waiting for you, and wants you to be ready to "Fly away to your eternal home in Heaven." Robert W. Brock My Daily Devotional Volume Seven January 22
