A devotional reflection on living as pilgrims on earth while longing for heaven.
Topical
Pilgrimage is living with heaven in view. Scripture teaches that believers are travelers passing through a temporary world toward an eternal home.
Strangers and pilgrims on the earth. (Hebrews 11:13)
Our conversation is in heaven. (Philippians 3:20)
Here have we no continuing city. (Hebrews 13:14)
Christian Application
Pilgrimage encourages believers that their hope is not in this world but in the glory to come. Live with eternity in view and walk faithfully toward your heavenly home.
Sample Prayer
Lord, keep my heart fixed on heaven as I journey through this world. Amen.
