Heavenly Minded
“We are confident,
yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present
with the Lord. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or
absent, to be well pleasing to Him." 2 Corinthians 5:8-9
In the above passage, Paul is exhorting us to be heavenly
minded. Our desires should be foe heaven and not for this earthly life. We
should desire to be in our new body and be in the presence of the Lord. Too
many of us are earthly minded. We are so caught up with our lives on earth and
the material things that this life offers, that we seldom think about heaven.
And, we seldom realize that the way we live our life on earth will be judged
once we get to heaven!
The one objective in out life is to please the Lord in
everything we do, that’s it! That’s our calling as believers! What are you
living for?
Thought for the Day: Are you heavenly
minded or earthly minded?
