Leviticus 25, Leviticus 26: 1-13, Mark 16, Psalm 42: 1-6
Leviticus 25: 23 (ESV)
“The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is
mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.”
In verse 23 from Leviticus 25, God reminds Moses and the
people of Israel that everything belongs to God including the land. God also tells
us to remember we are strangers and sojourners on his land. I love this verse because
it is a reminder that earth is not our home, and that our true home is in
heaven with God. If we are citizens of heaven, then while we are on earth it
means we are totally dependent on God because we are sojourners on his land.
Being citizens of heaven also means that our life on earth is transient, so our
dependence on God for guidance to follow his divine plan becomes even more
important. I like the idea of thinking myself a sojourner on God’s land, because
then it makes sense that I need to follow God’s rules and plan for myself on his
land.
