In this world, not of it  

Genesis 26

…stay in this land as an alien, and I will be with you and bless you…

From there (Isaac) went up to Beersheba.

And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father.

Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”

So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there. (3, 23-25)

Father, I am living in this world, but I do not belong to it. I’m just residing here for a short time.

So don’t let me get too attached to the temporary things in this world.

Instead, let me desire you above all else, always pitching my tent wherever you are.
