1 Peter 2:11 (MSG)
11 Friends, this world is not your home, so don’t make yourselves cozy in it. Don’t indulge your ego at the expense of your soul.
There are times when our Lord must long for us to look beyond the heaviness of the moment and catch a glimpse of the splendor and glory to come. Eternity lies ahead…really just a few steps down the path.
It is not the glorious battlements, the painted windows, the crouching gargoyles that support a building, but the stones that lie unseen in or upon the earth. It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.
Lord, be with me today that I may see but a few steps down the path and realize that my humble service is the foundation of your work among men. Thank you. Amen.
