Just passing through

The word I noticed today in Luke 9:44-62 is such a wonderful reminder to all of us, and the passage takes about three minutes to read! Our amazing Lord has started on His way to Jerusalem determined to carry out His final mission there despite knowing the cost. As they were walking, someone says,""I will follow you wherever you go." But Jesus replies, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."  I guess we theoretically know that we are on the same trip to eternal glory, just passing through this life. And I think as you get older, it starts becoming more real. But it is surely easy to concentrate on fixing up and investing in and worrying about the places we are "laying our heads" now.

Lord, help us to concentrate on where we are going and those we can love on the trip with us today.
