Day 9 PDL notes-

Life on earth is a temporary assignment.

Job 8:9  (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

Compared with eternity life on this earth is extremly short. This earth is not your home.

Psalms 119:19  I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

God's children will think differently from worldly children.

Philippians 3:19  Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20  For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Your identity is in eternity and heaven is your home.

We are ambassadors in this world for Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:20  Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

You will never feel at home on this earth because you are made for bigger things. We are preparing for something better.

2 Corinthians 4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

The temporal things in this world are not what we set our sights on. God is more interested in your character than your comfort.

Your time on earth is not your complete story. The rest of the chapters are in eternity.
