It may be a strange thing to hear for
some folk but I really appreciate every day that I can get home after
work before sunset. I know that in some parts of the Northern
Hemisphere the sun can set as late as at 10 pm. In Johannesburg in
winter the sun sets somewhere between 5 and 6 pm.
Any delays at the office or errands to
run after work will result in arriving home after the sun has set.
Somehow this always leaves me feeling a little robbed that I have had
no day time to be at home with my cats.
A longing to be home is not unusual.
The question I ask myself is what perception do we have of the house
of God? David talked about “dwelling in the secret place of the
most high.” Surely a place we dwell should be a place we can call
home.
I know that I can be as guilty as any
of feeling that getting to church at times is just too much effort,
but I know that is not the attitude that God desires us to have of
his place of worship. I suppose the 'note to self' is if going to
church were more like going home, it wouldn't require so much effort.
