“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”  2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV)

Have you ever noticed how restless you get with your home after a few months? Suddenly it’s time to change the way the furniture is arranged or maybe paint a room a different color. Sometimes the home that seemed to be the perfect place just doesn’t feel right anymore. As children of God, we are restless for a purpose. We aren’t home yet, and this is just our temporary place to live until we reach our eternal heavenly home. I love Carrie Underwood’s song “Temporary Home,” because it’s a great reminder that this is just a place we are passing through.
“This is my temporary home. It’s not where I belong. Windows and rooms that I’m passin’ through. This is just a stop, on the way to where I’m going. I’m not afraid because I know this is my Temporary Home.”

Not only is our home temporary, so are the troubles we struggle with on a daily basis. Underneath all the struggles, we are laying the path to eternity. What we are going through now will not last forever, however, time spent with God in heaven will.

“Dear God, Thank You for preparing our eternal home in heaven for us. As the days get weary here on earth, remind us that this is only temporary.”

For His Glory
