Kingdom-minded means there’s a purpose to your pain here and now that has implications for God’s kingdom. You may never know the answer to “Why?” in this lifetime, but two of the many possible purposes for your pain are to make you mature and complete (James 1:2-4), and to equip you to comfort others (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Eternally focused means we are headed to a restored Eden. There are unseen and eternal things at work in our lives that far outweigh the temporary and seen.

The enemy wants us to have an eroded trust in God and an elevated trust in ourselves. Often it’s fear that leads us into temptation regarding our perceived needs (lust of the flesh), misplaced desires (lust of the eyes), and things we think we deserve (pride of life). We fear God won’t provide what we need, want, or deserve, so we justify getting these things our own way. Be careful about trying to be true to yourself…make sure you’re not being true to your most unhealthy self, but to your most surrendered, healed, and healthy self.
