This world is not my home; I'm just a-passing through

Proverbs 22:4  “By humility and fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.”

  The conditioned response psychologist Maslov taught that self-esteem is a critical human need. As long as one feels he is the best at what he does, says, thinks, or believes it follows that the person is in control of his own destiny. Perhaps a lot of this is true at it relates to the human world. Proverbs 23:7 tells us that what we think makes us what we are. Christians, however, have a much higher calling than this earth. As the song goes, “This world is not my home; I’m just a passing through.” As Christians we have goals way beyond this stepping stone, training life on earth. Humility and Jesus-esteem are our guides to life here, now, and in the everlasting future.

Lord, we love You today and know that our future everlasting life depends on what we know that You are. Be our esteemed leader until we are together for all time and help us to show our faith in the results of humility and Jesus esteem.  In His service we live.     Amen.
