Scripture

Philippians 3

20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.


Observation

Today with all the discussion about illegal aliens we need to remind ourselves that this is not our home either! Our citizenship is in heaven and Jesus will soon come back to take us home! Paul says that he considers the stuff of this world, “rubbish” and what he wants is “to know Christ and the power of his resurrection”


Application

Are we so wrapped up with the things of this world that they have become our “gods”? Are we excited today about the things of Christ and can we say like Paul says in Philippians 3:17 for people to follow our example?



Prayer

Heavenly Father, may my heart’s desire be to know Christ and the power of his resurrection. May I think more about your kingdom than I do about the things that really don’t matter. Help me be an example to those around me of what a Christian should be. Work in my heart today to make me more like you. You are wonderful and worthy of worship and praise!
