Grace for your spirit August 22, 2014

Grace for your spirit
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.   Hebrews 11:16

We don't see much talk about a heavenly home in the Old Testament. It seemed all of their focus on was their earthly promised land. However, those who had great faith in God understood that they were strangers on this earth, and desired a heavenly home where they could be with God.  They knew the heart of God and God prepared a place for all who are near to His heart.  When we begin to understand God, we will take our eyes off our worldly pursuits, and seek the eternal city that He has prepared for us in heaven too.
