“Strangers in a Strange Land”… Are you one? (Genesis 23:4, John 17:16)

Daily Prompt: Stranger in a Strange Land
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/daily-prompt-new/

How many of us are “strangers in a strange land”?

Who is a stranger…

A stranger in a strange land?

Well lets look at scripture…

and see where we stand.

***

Abraham walked in faith…

with God, Hand in hand.

He was called a “stranger…

a stranger in a strange land”.

***

So does that make those,

who walk in total faith,

A “stranger in a strange land”,

Or is it still up to debate?

***

How many leave their homes,

jobs, and lives to obey,

when God says to just go,

and leave everything today?

***

How many start all over,

in a whole new land,

 when God says to move,

and He will guide your hand.

***

How many totally  trust God,

to provide for them everyday,

just walking step by step,

feeling God’s Presence on the way.

***

How many truly walk with God,

walking in faith, not by sight?

Feeling His guiding Presence,

not just following any light.

***

How many “believers”,
so totally trust and believe,
that they will walk by faith,
while the world is deceived.

***

God says, we may be in this world,

but are not of this world you see.

We are not to conform to this world,

but to be transformed to Thee.

***

So Abraham is an example,

of being a “stranger in a strange land”.

So only God knows who are His strangers,

totally walking in faith while holding His Hand.
