Present In A Foreign Land 3/19/2019

Good Morning World,

I am embracing this day with prayer and a large mug of Door County Bourbon Pecan Pie Coffee. Today I write to Christians around the world who might be suffering from persecution, illness, pain, or loss of loved ones. Today I also write to non-Christians and send a message of hope through Jesus Christ.

Have you ever traveled somewhere and despite how hard your host worked for you something was missing? What was missing, is that it wasn't home!


My kingdom is not of the world. John 18:36


Jesus reminds us that His home is in Heaven. Those who have received Him as Lord and Savior will dwell with Him there when we leave this world.

There are many rooms in my Father's house. I am going there to prepare a place for you. John 14:2

Problems, strife, discontent and unhappiness on Earth work to promote a thirst and hunger for Heaven. God through these, holds our attentions on what is ahead.
We will never be content here. We were not made for Earth. We were made for Heaven. Settling for what Earth has to offer is a great tragedy. We are prematurely satisfied. Content in a strange land??

We will see moments or days of joy, peace, and get glimpses of God at work. But never ever think that what we have now compares to the wonders ahead! Travel on! We are just passing through.

God bless,
Marty
