For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. (Hebrews 13:14, ESV)

Pilgrims with no vision of the Promised Land become settlers of their own land. They set up camp. They exchange hiking boots for loafers and trade in their staff for a new recliner. Are you living your life with the attitude that you are only passing through? Or are you content to settle in permanently? We are encouraged to be looking for a place that will last forever – this ain’t it!

Prayer: Lord, I am a sojourner in this land looking forward to the hope of your coming glory and kingdom – that is eternal.
