When I want to remember an important appointment or meeting, I sometimes stick a note on my fridge as a reminder.
The other day I thought I should have a permanent note on my fridge that says, "This world is not my home."
When I'm feeling overwhelmed by the chaos, confusion, deception, and other evils in our world, I can let that note remind me to pull out my Bible and read these passages:
"Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." 1 Peter 2:11-12
"For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come." Hebrews 13:14
"[Faithful people in the past] were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:16
If the world sometimes gets you down, why not put a note on your fridge to remind you of these truths. If you've given your life to Christ, you have no reason to fear your future.
