Philippians 3:20 - Our citizenship is in heaven

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

Philippians 3:20

Commentary

Christians need to remember that though we are in this world we are not of this world; our ultimate citizenship is in heaven. The eager desire of Christians is not earthly things, but a heavenly Person, the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:19-25).

Psalm 4:8 - I will lie down and sleep in peace...

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety.

Psalm 4:8

Commentary

David wrote this psalm as he was about to retire for the night (v. 8). He could not do much about the war around him, but he could do something about the war within him. He did not want to lie in bed and worry, so he committed himself and his situation to the Lord.
