Heavenly Goals?

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.2 Corinthians 4:18

I was recently reading a devotion from Christian Medical Dental Association which asked the question are your goals each day earthly or heavenly ones? That is an excellent question to ponder. Do you live mainly to reach success here or are you focused on what you do ultimately in the kingdom of Heaven?

Everything here on this beautiful Earth God created is great but we are only temporary residents in this gorgeous dwelling place. The goal is not to get too attached accumulating stuff down here but to live each day as if it may be the last. Are you making a lasting impact or building into the life of anyone? For instance, for young moms this means those little babies God entrusted you with as the most important job you will ever have even though the world screams go back to a more ‘important’ job.

There is much pressure to conform to this world but you as a believer are not to be conformed as it says in Romans 12:2 but to be transformed. Don’t let others opinions try to shape you. Let the word of God dwell in you and let it have the most power and effect in your day to day life.

PRAYER: Thank so very much Lord Jesus for being my guide in life and the ultimate role model. Help me daily as I seek to look to you and not the world for how to live. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
