*DAILY DEW 27TH/JANUARY/2022* *Faith Series: The Long Sightedness of Faith* _Key Bible Text:_ *"By Faith he lived as a foreigner in the country that God had promised him. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who received the same promise from God. For Abraham was waiting for the city which God has designed and built, the city with permanent foundations.”* (Hebrews 11:9-10 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ Faith is more longsighted than shortsighted. Faith does not act based on what is present alone. Faith acts based on what is to come as well. When Abraham was told of the promised land, he believed God and even after he entered into it, he did not "settle". He continued to live as though he was still searching for the promised land. Why was that? We would not have been certain but for Hebrews 11:10. The Bible says that beyond God's promise to Abraham, Abraham desired an everlasting inheritance, a place whose builder and maker is not from this world. We can't miss the message. Let's consider the following: *"It was in Faith that all these persons died. They did not receive the things God had promised, but _from a long way off they saw them_ and welcomed them, and admitted openly that they were foreigners and refugees on earth. Those who say such things make it clear that they are looking for a country of their own."* *"They did not keep thinking about the country they had left; if they had, they would have had the chance to return. Instead, it was a better country they longed for, the heavenly country. And so God is not ashamed for them to call him their God, because He has prepared a city for them."* (Hebrews 11: 13-16 (GNB)) What country do you want to obtain its permanent residence? What citizenship are you conscious of while here on earth? Where are you looking forward to ultimately? While you are at it, how do you show through your life and conduct that you don't belong here? #Selah _MEDITATION:_ *"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone."* (Ephesians 2:19-20 (KJV) ) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Thursday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Happy_New_Year_2022* *#Hello_January* ❤ Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/12/trusting-against-all-odds.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
