My devotion for today. A Home and A Hope You yourselves (in heaven) a better and lasting possession Hebrews 10:34 Thanks be to unto God, we believers in Christ have the assurance that we are going to a home where all is happiness, joy, and peace. This blessed hope fortifies us to bear our hardships. We will not insist on our wants here and fight over our rights, but we will be willing to suffer the loss of all things for the sake of those things which are yet to come. Earthly possessions will not vitally concern us. The quality here may be poor, but the Bible teaches that the quality there is perfect. The possessions here will pass away; the possessions there are enduring. No one can have a real peace who does not have the assurance of a permanent and happy home which will not be subject to earthly casualty. Sometime ago two old friends were dying. The one was rich, and the other poor. The rich man was outside of Christ, and he was talking to another of his friends, When I die,he said, I shall have to leave my riches. When he dies, he will go to his riches. Thus in a word he summed the two radically different principles which govern the world and the Christian. Peace is not arbitrary. It must be based upon definite facts. God had all the facts on his side: the world does not. Therefore God, and not the world, can give people peace. It is honorable, right, and praiseworthy that our leaders should seek and promote national and world peace; but they must recognize its limitations without Christ, the Prince of Peace. The Bible teaches that the world will never come to this place of tranquillity and permanent peace until Christ, the Prince of Peace, comes back to this earth. When He comes to reign and rule, man shall know war no more.
