This is not our home, praise God

There is a song called "Where I Belong" by a group called Building 429. Here are the lyrics:
Sometimes it feels like I'm watching from the outside
Sometimes it feels like I'm breathing but am I alive
I will keep searching for answers that aren't here to find

All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong

So when the walls come falling down on me
And when I'm lost in the current of a raging sea
I have this blessed assurance holding me.

All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong

Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong

When the earth shakes I wanna be found in You
When the lights fade I wanna be found in You

All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong

All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong

Where I belong, where I belong
Where I belong, where I belong

It is a wonderful song with a great encouraging message, one that Paul is talking about in Philippians 3:20 when he writes, "But our citizenship is in heaven – and we also await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ" We as Christians truly strangers in a strange land. This week of devotional I want to go over the Heavenly Dilemma for us a Christians and that is longing to be with Christ but finishing well while here on earth.
Life, especially for those who earnestly try to live for Christ every day, is tough and I want to encourage you to hang in there. You are not alone.
So this morning, thank God for all the rich blessings He has given you and just know if you are going through a trial, know that this isn't our home, we are just passing through.
