91 “It is a good land which the Lord our God gives to us.”
Deuteronomy 1:25
God gives His children good things and promises us a home that can never fade or be taken away from us. He has gone before to prepare the way and we can rely on Him, just as the Israelites of old.
“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.”
John 14:1-3
We must take our eyes off the here and now and fix them on eternity. God provides us with homes in this life, but they are only temporary whereas the home in heaven is eternal. We are to eagerly desire it and look forward to it, taking our eyes off the temporal and place them on the eternal. All our troubles will melt away, and we will see the king in all his glory. This is the way to a victorious Christian life and the way to life in God and peace with God.
“For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory, while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
