我的电脑每次启动时都会向我展示有趣的图片。当我准备用密码登录时，就会看到世界各地美丽地方的图片：热带岛屿、风景秀丽的山谷平原、迷人的风景、繁华的城市街道。当然，这些图片都是经过精心挑选的，以吸引我的注意力。毫不奇怪，我经常去搜索其中一些地方的信息，甚至想知道生活在那里会是什么样子。

你是否听过一句老话：“别处的草总是更绿？”当然，我必须记住，生活在一个山地乐园会缺少许多我在家乡欣赏的东西。我的家人和朋友不住在那里，也没有我所拥有的社区连接和便利设施。但，有时我还是会受到新地方的诱惑。

类似的事情也可能发生在我们的属灵生活中。诗人回顾了神如何给祂的子民一个家。神把他们带出埃及，保护他们，供养他们。但，以色列人常常渴望不同的东西，认为他们可以做得更好。然而，他们在逃离神的同时，也是在逃离为他们提供真正家园的那位。

我们罪恶的心很容易忘记神与我们同在，这是真正的家。我们能认识到自己躁动不安的危险吗？

My computer shows me interesting pictures each time it starts up. As I prepare to log in with my password, I see images of beautiful places around the world: tropical islands, scenic mountain meadows, stunning landscapes, bustling city streets. These images, of course, are carefully selected to catch my attention. Not surprisingly, I often go searching for information about some of these places, even wondering what it would be like to live there.

Have you heard the old saying "The grass is always greener on the other side?" Of course, I have to remember that living in a mountainous paradise would lack many of the things I appreciate at home. My family and friends don't live there. The community connections and conveniences I have are not there. But at times I am still tempted by the lure of a new place.

Something like that can happen to us spiritually too. The psalmist recalls how God gave his people a home. God brought them out of Egypt and protected and provided for them. But Israel often longed for something different, thinking they could do better. Yet, in running from God, they ran from the One who provided their true home.

Our sinful hearts easily forget the gift of the home we have with God. Can we recognize the dangers of our restlessness?
