It may not always seem like it, but the evidence of spiritual transformation should be seen in our lives because of Him who dwells in us. Galatians 2:20.

Even as we journey through this world, our focus should be eternity. We need to get educated, work, raise families, etc. And as we do that, we should do it based on our divine purpose and with God’s help. Then the words of 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 will make sense, especially verse 58.

But we have so many things that are troubling us: health issues, hard economic times, stress at work or in business, issues with children, etc. These don’t negate the reality of the Ancient of Days. In Mark 4:35-41, Jesus slept while the disciples, some who were experienced fishermen, were extremely unsettled due to a storm. But He was in the boat with them. Is Jesus in the boat with you as you face your storms? He spoke to the storm. Can He still command storms today? Have you lost sight of the bigger picture, the aspect of eternity?

There are enough troubles keeping us occupied and sometimes taking our focus away from the hope of eternal glory. Daniel 7:1-14 helps me put things into perspective. There is no kingdom that will outlive God’s kingdom. Other kingdoms shall be destroyed and that of the Ancient of Days shall remain forever.

Psalm 98 assures all those who follow God that they will be victorious when He judges the earth. So all the “fuss” about how we ought to live is not in vain. May we be found ready when that time comes. May we live life in a manner that suggests that “salvation is everything.”

So why all the fuss about how we should live, what we should do and not do? Revelations 22:7 and 12-17 answer that question in part. May we live life on earth with the hope of eternal glory in mind.

Romans 15:1-4 and 7 gives us valuable tips on how the remnant should coexist. We need to help one another and realise that we are not alone in this journey of life. The Lord is there to support us. Paul’s prayer in verse 5 and 6 also points out the other important element that so often lacks, especially in the body of Christ. Be encouraged and soldier on. Let us aspire to be part of the remnant and live according to God’s expectation, for there is adequate provision for that.

Therefore, if we are a remnant, what should our focus be? We cannot afford to waste time, other resources and energy on irrelevant issues. Our focus should be on how to live for God and how to help one another be the best that God wants us to be. Romans 14:1-23.

Romans 11:1-10 depicts the plight of the Israelites who refused to abide in God’s will. He made them blind and deaf to what He was doing. The upsurge of evil in our midst shouldn’t surprise you. There are many who don’t view their wrongdoing as evil because they are insensitive to what God expects of them. May we be found among the remnant in our country and in the church.

Forgiveness is critical for mending relationships and restoring love. This then leads to peace of mind for the offender and the offended. This life has enough troubles and we do not need to add to them. 2 Corinthians 2:5-11.
