Sojourner

Homesteaders we are not, for our home is yet to be seen
We live among these citizens until we see our King
Only guests in this foreign place…
Living in a manner to honor Him, while making haste…
To dream and build and occupy for we wish to make no waste…
To sing and dance and write His words upon the comelings hearts
Knowing that we are sojourners here, and here, is where we start…
Sowing seeds and planting fields
Walking beside still waters…
The beauty here cannot compare to what we’ll have, when we get there…
So plow and sweat and play and sleep beneath these wondrous stars…
Teach your children how to pray and reach beyond the bars…
For we are no longer prisoners of the Evil-War-Lord, here on earth
Ours is of a nobler land; not built by human hands
Sojourners, our homes not built on sinking sand…
But built by He, who has prepared, our Promise Land
We need not wonder…it’s by faith we take our stand…
Knowing there are those who await our arrival,
But until then~
We are sojourners in a foreign land.

1 Peter 2:11-12 New King James Version (NKJV)
Living Before the World
Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
