Pilgrims in a Foreign Land

In this message, we're reminded that God's presence is the ultimate gift, far greater than any earthly outcome. The story of Jacob and Joseph in Genesis 45-46 teaches us about trusting God's guidance, even when entering unfamiliar territory. Just as God promised to be with Jacob in Egypt, He promises to be with us in our own 'foreign lands' - whether that's a new job, a challenging relationship, or an unexpected life change. We're encouraged to be 'pilgrims' in this world, grateful for God's provisions but always aiming for the better country He has promised. This perspective shift can revive our spirits, helping us see beyond our immediate circumstances to the eternal hope we have in Christ. As we navigate life's journey, let's remember that our true home is not in this world, but in the new Jerusalem that God is preparing for us.
