look up

“10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives.”
2 Peter 3:10-11 (New International Version)

“Crisis has a way of shaking us out of complacency. It reminds us this world is not our home and encourages us to be godly (v.11). When it feels as if our personal world is coming to an end, we should focus on living for eternity.” —Dennis Fisher

This is not my home; I am just passing through… I shouldn’t get so attached to this world, eh? But I should fix my eyes on Jesus… just keep gazing heavenward….
