Not Our Home by David Harsha
This world is not our home. We are looking forward to our
city in heaven, which is yet to come. Hebrews 13 verse 14
We are strangers and pilgrims on the earth. This present world
is not our home. We are coming up from the wilderness
with our faces zionward. We are traveling to the celestial
city. Our path is rough, but the Savior
sustains us. Our pilgrimage lies through a
wilderness, but faith cheers us with a view of the glorious
rest of the redeemed in our Father's house, in mansions of blessedness. Let this consideration animate
us amid the conflicts of life. In a little while, we shall obtain
a joyous entrance into the rest above. The storms of life's ocean
will soon carry us into the haven of peace, where there is no trouble. The language of Scripture is,
get up, go away, for this is not your resting place, because
it is defiled, it is ruined, beyond all remedy. Your Savior,
pilgrim Christian, has prepared for you a nobler rest than this
polluted world. In our Father's house are many
spacious mansions, where your happy spirit, after tasting the
bitter cup of life's sorrow, shall rest in eternal blessedness. This world is not our home. We are looking forward to our
city in heaven, which is yet to come. Hebrews 13 verse 14. This Puritan devotional has been
