While it is true that we can become so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good, it is equally true that we can become so focused on the things of earth that we do not seek the things that are above. Jesus tells us, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33). You are an alien and a stranger in this world. It is not your home. We are to care about the things of this world, especially the people of this world, but we are not to get caught up in the things of this world. We want the world to honor Christ. We want people to know Jesus and His salvation. Our hope and our home is in heaven. This should give us perspective as we live our life in this world and wait on the one that is coming.
