Foxes have
holes…this is the thought that keeps popping into my mind. It all started about three weeks ago, it was
something I could not shake out of my thoughts.
I think God wanted me to explore this verse a little more “Foxes have
holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay
his head.” Luke 9:58 So I have taken time to really ponder what this verse is all
about and here is where I am at.
I never
really understood this verse until I started living it. When I was at “home” in the States I always
had a safe place to go, a space to call my own.
Now that I am in constant change
I am finding my comfort rests in the Lord.
Now I realize that Jesus traveled to reach the nations but He also knew
that His home was not here on earth. He
did not spend His time trying to make a home for Himself, He spent His time in
constant movement and constant change all for the glory of the Kingdom. He also knew that His home was in heaven. I was called to the Race in the first place
because I was getting a little too comfortable with where I was at. I don’t think God wants us comfortable or stagnant
because we begin to value our citizenship here on earth more than we do our
heavenly one.
I am
finding I am a lot more adaptable than I normally am and I think that is only
through God’s grace. Now I love my “home”
in the states but I am finding there is a lot of freedom when I am living for
His glory. I have a lot more peace when
I am experiencing Kingdom on earth. And
I have had a lot more time to think about heaven and spending an eternity in
His presence which makes me even more eager to live for Him. A week ago we spent some time in worship and
I experienced God’s love so tangibly. I
realize He loves us so much and just a taste of that love makes me want so much
more.
Side note: Here are some facts that we learned about Ukraine:
We were staying in a village named “Bolshoi Sulkahovol” which means “Big, dry place”.
The flag is Blue and Yellow – representing the blue sky over the yellow wheat fields.
