In A Foreign Land

Do not conform to the pattern of this world,but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Romans 12:2 NIV Bible gateway

You don’t actually have to go to a foreign country where different languages are spoken to feel like you are in a totally different environment. For me moving 2100 miles from Tennessee to Idaho put me in a different place within my own country. From Southern to Western. 

Brother and sister if you claim to be followers of Christ you are in a foreign land as well. You abide or dwell here while alive knowing your real home is in Heaven. You are not to let this world change you but you are to change the world. Satan absolutely hates this and will do anything to get you to trip and fall. 

If not careful it is easy to let the culture indoctrinate you. This is why it is essential to keep your lifeline, the Bible, by your side. Many have the Bible App right on their phone so utilize it or get a pocket Bible. In it you find truth and can gain hope for the future. Today harden not your heart and if far from God cry out to Him to help you. In Him you have life everlasting. 

PRAYER: Help me to learn Lord that I am not to love this world or become too attached to things in this world as they are temporary. I ask you to help me break any strongholds keeping me from knowing you better. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
