Thought of the Day: Where is Home?

Greetings in Christ Jesus, Fellow Soldiers.

As I prepare to transition from one post to another, I am reminded how difficult transitions can be. We love to feel safe and secure in the routine and predictability of a given time, place and pattern. When that changes, it can throw us off. But it can also remind us to not take any given station of life for granted. We will be constant flux in this world, as pilgrims just passing through.

Let us remember that our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior form there, the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil. 3:20). We already have a place in the heavenly realm. That is why we're told to set our minds on things above, where Christ is. When Christ, who is our life, appears, we will also appear with Him in glory (Col. 3:1-4). We should set our minds of Christ and our heavenly home at all times, knowing that no transition in this world can shake our standing with God.
