In 1 Peter, the apostle wrote to Christians that had to flee for their lives. He addressed them as aliens scattered and then again as aliens and strangers. I’ve been in a study of 1 Peter recently and encouraged as to how it played out in my prayer time this morning. God sometimes seems so far away or not there at all. That’s very frustrating for any believer but we must remember we live by “faith” and our call is to “trust and obey”. As I called out to Him this morning and began my “whining”, I told Him I feel so “alienated”. Immediately, He brought to mind that that is what I am here on earth: an alien. The reason we are not comfortable in our skin is because we are not home yet. Simple yet complex but still a great reminder!
