Daniel 1.1-3 - Where Am I?

Daniel 1.1-3 - Where Am I?

This summer I traveled ‘memory lane’ through my home state of California. St. Luke’s Hospital in San Francisco, born there 63 years ago! What? Now it is California Pacific Medical Center!? Clark Jr. High School in La Crescenta…now a magnet school!? Montrose Community Church - where I was baptized as new Christian at 17…closed!? My old friends…moved away…dead…yikes! Going back home seems impossible! The book of Daniel…young people dragged far from home…their homeland demolished…a lifetime in exile. But those Hebrews were filled with hope. The believer’s home is not seen by looking back, but looking forward. We never get the full picture from earth. But we know the Maker who has prepared a place for us. Enoch and Elijah got there abruptly. But most of us get there like the Maker’s Son, death that leads to life. Lift up your heads, true home is on the horizon.
