Living in exile

My reading this week is First Peter. An epistle I’m drawn to. Often. 

Perhaps because it addresses those living in exile. Aliens. Temporary residents in foreign lands. 

These are pockets of believers living out the gospel away from their passport country. 

Away from large gatherings of the Body of Christ.

Follow Me

The early morning taxi was en route to the airport and my mind was racing.

Were we making the right decision? We had to move out of India, but where? Here? Was this the place? This turn in the path was not something I’d ever imagined would happen.

I stared out the window. It was still dark. Just before dawn. I breathed a prayer for wisdom.  Voiced my uncertainty.

At that moment I saw a well-lit sign on top of a tall building up ahead. Bold red letters painted on white.  

“Follow Me” 

Psalm 63:8 on my art pad. His right hand holds on to us.
