John 18:36 (NKJV) 36 Jesus answered, \u201cMy kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Not of this world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That phrase is really hitting home more and more recently. Let me explain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Let me start by saying that Pastor Ellie and I have had more than a few conversations over the last 6-12 months about the fact that we feel less and less attached to our lives here on this earth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What used to feel solid and stable no longer feels that way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What used to give us a sense of belonging no longer affects us that way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We truly feel like we are living in a foreign land where our only true source of hope and stability is God and our walk with Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The changes in the world over the last decade or so have really caused us to focus our attention on God, and Him alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pleasures and hobbies mean very little to us now. They just don\u2019t hold our attention like they did 15-20 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why? Because we have seen more and more that, just like Jesus, we are not of this world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As followers of Christ, this world has no power over any of us.<\/p>\n

It is just a place where you and I are passing through for a very short period of time. And then we will spend eternity in the presence of God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, if you\u2019ve been struggling to find stability, or you feel like you\u2019re losing your grip on things of\u00a0this world, don\u2019t spend your energy fighting it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Let God be your stability. Let Him be your foundation, as He should be. And let us hold fast only to the things of heaven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Let your peace and security be in Him alone. We are, after all, not of this world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
