Looking Up!!!!

God said, "when you see these things happening, LOOK UP", He never wanted us to enmesh ourselves in the things that are happening all around us.

God wanted us to prepare ourselves in holiness and wait with great expectation as a bride waits for her husband.

We are citizens of heaven and not of this world. The things of the world need to be left with the world as we speak the gospel and encourage other born again believers to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus Christ.

So many are needlessly agitating themselves worrying about something that is not their business, the things of this world.

1 John 2:14-16 "14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.…"

James 4:4
"You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God."

1 John 4:5-6 " 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this, we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error."

When our eyes are continually fixated on the world they cannot be fixed on God. If you have trusted in a leader, a country, a church building, a pastor or anything or anyone else you are not trusting in Christ.

Think about how often you think about God. How many times do you speak and listen to Him in a week? If it is not every day then something is wrong

We do not neglect the most important person in our lives for one day. If Christ is the most important One in our lives we cannot go very long in a day without talking to Him or listening to Him.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"16 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
