"If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one."
~ Hebrews 11:15-16
This morning God spoke to remind that being truly saved is accompanied by new true desires that bends and leans the heart Godward, forsaking whatever else as 'beautiful' and pleasurable. God promised to give us a singleness of heart and a new superior satisfaction above all else that is God Himself.
The verse highlights that in the face of the previously pleasurable and desirable things dangling in front of them, Abraham had his heart bent on loving and following His superior satisfaction, the God who spoke Him into being and who walked with Him from his home towards the land that He would eventually give to Israel.
