Singing the Lord's Songs in a Foreign Land; Biblical Reflections for Expatriates

No matter where we are from, each expatriate has times of unparalleled joy and excitement, new adventures, fascinating cultural differences, wonderful food and supportive new friends from around the world. Each also faces the challenges of living in another culture, learning a sometimes difficult language, feeling homesick, experiencing grief at the loss of what is familiar while asking God why He seems to have taken us so far away and why life is so difficult.
The Bible speaks to these and other emotions. The Israelites lived in exile and felt deeply the pain and hurt of being in unfamiliar territory. Yet they found confidence in the Lord who, they discovered, was with them in the foreign land just as much as He was with them back home. Their perspective away from home was different, but God remained the same.
In this book of reflections you will find biblical insight into those feelings and questions that you have while living in a foreign land. They were written to be read on an extended but regular basis such as one a day or a week. However you decide to read the material may you find God's blessing as you meditate on His word and hear His message for you so far from home.
