As They were walking along the road a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus replied, "foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
Luke 9:57-58
This world is not my home, I'm just a passin' through. My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon me to Heaven's open door and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
All too often, we do feel quite comfortable and at home in this world. We talk of Heaven and speak of readiness for the Day of the Lord to come but, truth be told, we would just as soon he hold off for a little while. We feel we are owed a little more in this life. We have more to accomplish, more to experience. May we live in this place as visitors who are here for a while only to be called home to bow in worship at the feet of the Almighty God. And may we live each day, each moment, each breath in purposeful service to the Kingdom
