Today's Bible Verse: Philippians 3:20-21
“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body…”

✨ Devotional Overview:

Do you long for heaven—or are your eyes more often fixed on earthly comforts and accomplishments? In today’s devotional, Emma Danzey gently reminds us of a powerful truth: this world is not our home. As believers, our true citizenship is in heaven, and Jesus has gone ahead to prepare a place for us.

With honesty and compassion, Emma reflects on the tension many of us feel—gratitude for the good in our lives, yet a deep longing for what’s eternal. Whether you’re grieving a loss, dealing with declining health, or just weary of this world, this prayer will lift your gaze and anchor your heart in the unshakable hope of heaven.

Key Takeaways:

• We often get distracted by earthly things, but our eternal hope is secure in Jesus.

• Heaven is real—and Jesus is preparing a place for every believer (John 14:3).

• Faith in Christ is the only way to this eternal home, not our works.

• Our present trials remind us that something far better is coming.

• We are called not only to long for heaven but to share that hope with others.

Reflection Questions:

• What are some earthly distractions that might be pulling your focus away from eternity?

• How can you foster a deeper longing for heaven in your daily walk with Christ?

• Is there someone in your life who needs to hear about the hope of eternal life?

Supporting Scriptures:

• 1 Peter 1:3 – “In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope…”

• John 14:3 – “I will come again and take you to myself…”

• Colossians 3:2 – “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

Uncle Si laughs at the pranks from the "Duck Dynasty: The Revival" film crew and Martin brings along his old friend and fellow Willie wrangler Chad Creel to back up every wild travel story John-David’s ever told. Chad confirms it all: yes, Willie travels with 800 bags of beef jerky, and yes, he just bought Blake Shelton’s old tour bus so he can go on a personal “Willie Tour” whenever the mood strikes. John-David laments being dragged into coffee dates by his wife and forced to confront the cold, watery reality of oat milk.
