This World Is Not My Home #RTTBROS #Nightlight This World Is Not My Home "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." - Hebrews 11:13 (KJV) In this world, we often encounter suffering and hardship. It's easy to question why a loving God would allow such pain to exist. Yet, in His wisdom, the Lord uses these trials to remind us of a profound truth: this world is not our true home. Just as the patriarchs of old recognized they were "strangers and pilgrims on the earth," we too must understand that our journey here is temporary. The sufferings we face serve as a divine reminder not to become too attached to this earthly realm. Consider how we might view our lives differently if we truly embraced this perspective. Would we not hold more loosely to material possessions? Would we not seek more fervently the things of God rather than the fleeting pleasures of this world? The apostle Peter echoes this sentiment when he writes, "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul" (1 Peter 2:11, KJV). Our sufferings can be a tool in God's hands, helping us to resist the temptations that would anchor us too firmly to this passing world. There's an old spiritual that captures this truth beautifully. The song speaks of this world not being our home, but rather a place we're simply passing through. It reminds us that our treasures are laid up "somewhere beyond the blue." As we face trials and tribulations, let us remember that they serve a greater purpose. They loosen our grip on the temporal and turn our eyes toward the eternal. They remind us that we are indeed strangers here, journeying toward our true home in God's presence. Let us, therefore, not drive our tent pegs too deeply into this old world. Instead, may we use our time here wisely, storing up treasures in heaven where "neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal" (Matthew 6:20, KJV). In your moments of suffering, take heart. Remember that you are a pilgrim on a sacred journey, and each trial is but a stepping stone on your path home to God. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros
