Good Morning Friends,
“How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD
Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living
God. Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young -- a place
near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.” (Psalm 84:1-4)
There are many struggles in this life. What we go through is often difficult. Often, we are not comfortable. Sin has marred the landscape around us and
deeply affected the world and our lives.
Disease brings pain and discomfort.
Aging brings aches and frustrations to us and those we love. Life is not always easy. Life is not often easy!
But here’s a thought from the Psalmist to
keep us going: we’re not home, yet! God’s dwelling place is lovely. It is the home we seek and wait for.
Paul said, “But our citizenship is in
heaven.” (Philippians 3:20) We’re just
visitors here in this world, our true homeland awaits in eternity.
David was confident, “I will dwell in the
house of the LORD forever.” (Psalm 23:6)
That is God’s promise to those who trust Him.
When life gets tough, remember: you’re not home, yet!
His, by Grace,
Steve
