When you go on vacation and visit a new place, do you fit in with the locals? Typically, when I visualize a tourist I think about someone wearing a Hawaiian button down shirt with a camera hanging around their neck (and probably stopping and taking pictures every couple minutes- yes, I am guilty of the taking pictures part). They seem strange and out of place- don’t you agree? Todays verse tells us that similarly to the tourist mentioned above, we are strangers in this place. We are strangers on Earth- we SHOULD stand out, specifically because we are following His commands. Do you stand out?
“I am a stranger on earth;
do not hide your commands from me.”
Psalm 119:19
