pray we'd get our identity in this world straight!

1 Pet. 2:11

"Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul"

Do we see ourselves as "aliens and strangers" in the world today, or do we find, as another author observed, that "this world is too much with us"? "Earthly-mindedness" is a serious spiritual malady. An excellent antidote is to continually resubmit our lives to God's eternal purpose to bring people from every nation to share in the marriage supper of the Lamb. Earthly attractions will have less allure for us when we are consumed by God's own purposes and desires.

pray:Lord Jesus, teach us to see ourselves as You see us-as aliens and strangers. Make us Kingdom people!
