Hebrews 11:16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
The Old Testament is filled with those who trusted God without ever seeing Him. The didn't have the words of Jesus, or the Cross and resurrection to reflect on. The Bible didn't yet exist, because they were living out the days of Scripture.
And yet they knew. They somehow knew that this is not their home. They knew that God was preparing a new home for them, an eternal home with the Father. Jesus said that He was going to prepare that place for us.
Are you homesick for Him? Are you looking forward to the day that He will call you home? Keep your mind on things above, and trust your Father for the details! He loves you more than you can ever know.
