We, as children of the Almighty, are just passing through this world. This is truly not our home; we are meant for so much greater.
"The house of the wicked shall be overthrown, but the tent of the upright shall flourish." Proverbs 14:11, Amplified
Notice the difference between the two. The house of the wicked is going to be overthrown. This implies that they have found a home here on earth. Whereas the righteous, or upright, live in tents as the Israelites did. We are just sojourners here. Our home is in Heaven. When a person is less attached to some ting, it is so much easier for that person to move on in life. This was the purpose of tents for the Israelites. The Lord moved them around for 40 years, sojourning through the desert.
Realize, though, that the tent of the upright will flourish not because it is a tent. Our abode has little to do with our salvation. The tent of the upright will flourish because because of the inhabitant, just as the house of the wicked will fall because of its tenants.
