Living in a foreign land has it’s ups and downs, but for the most part I make do. I learn new customs and courtesy so that I won’t offend anyone in the host nation and so that living here will be easy for me. Many people only consider being in a different country as a foreign land.
Do we ever really think about this land, wherever we may live at, as not being our home? We have a permanent residence in heaven that is prepared for us it’s just waiting for us to occupy it.
So in essence we are all living in a foreign land but while we are here God gave us a book of customs and courtesies we will need when we occupy our permanent residence so that we won’t offend.
In this foreign land we need to get use to worshiping God because the custom in our permanent residence is that the people cry holy, holy, holy all day.
In this foreign land we need to get accustom to jewelry because in our permanent residence it’s a custom to have a crown of jewels.
In this foreign land we need to become accustom to lots of room because in our permanent residence it’s a custom that everyone have their own mansion.
In this foreign land we need to get accustom to peace because in our permanent residence it’s a custom for you to never cry anymore.
Get the book on customs and courtesies for your permanent residence so that you will know what is expected of you when you get there.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
