Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
1 Peter 2:11
Lord, help me not to get too comfortable with this world, losing my sense of being a sojourner, what’s more an exile. Continue to remind me that this is not my home. Help me to resist the urges of my flesh to just accept things as they are and to go along to “get along.” Instead, remind me that daily I am waging war, that there is an enemy who, because he cannot have my soul, which was saved by Christ, seeks to make my life miserable, desiring for my walk to be a poor testimony to Your saving grace. Lord, nothing is further from the truth! My life is whole and complete because of what You have done in me through my Savior. Because of Your love, I have fellowship with You, my soul finding its rest. Lord, I’m homesick this morning. I want more and that more is with You. Even so, come Lord Jesus! Amen.
