This Is Not Our Home

I’m positive anyone can relate to Laura Story’s song, “Blessings” (linked below). As she sings, “We know that pain reminds this heart, that this is not our home”. I for one need this reminder daily! Not just for trials we face, but also choices we make.

Reading Hebrews 11:13 “All these people died having faith. They did not receive the things that were promised, yet they saw them in the distant future and welcomed them, acknowledging that they were strangers and foreigners on earth.” I do remind myself to walk by faith, not by site. It’s even written in my office at work, but LIVING IT IS HARD!!! I find myself CONSTANTLY asking for forgiveness!

As Christians we rely on something that is supernatural! Yet I (we) still try to make sense of it all, try to put an earthly/scientific spin on everything. I know I’m not alone in this struggle. I want my faith to be as solid as the heroes of the Bible. God has promised us good things, can I (we) get to a place of accepting that truth? Can I live with a mindset on eternity, knowing this is not my home? It’s my prayer for all of us, to have everlasting faith in our Lord.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Thanks for reading, God bless!
