Detox: Pt 3 - 5 Day Devotional: Day 5

Reading: Colossians 3:1-4; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Devotional: Life is brief. Circumstances change. Heartbreak happens. But eternity never ends, and your citizenship is in heaven. When earthly realities hit hard—loss, disappointment, grief—remind yourself of eternal realities. This world is not your home; you're just passing through. That doesn't minimize pain, but it does provide hope. We don't grieve as those without hope because we know this isn't the end of the story. Set your mind on things above. Fix your thoughts on Jesus, not just on problems. Your current struggles, though real and difficult, are "light and momentary" compared to eternal glory. What you invest in God's kingdom—relationships, character, faithfulness—will last forever. Everything else will burn. Let this perspective change how you spend today. What are you doing with your life that will matter in eternity? Live today with tomorrow's reality in mind, and watch anxiety lose its grip.

Weekly Challenge: Choose one practical step from this week's devotionals—forgive someone specific, detox from social media for six days, attend a prayer gathering, or memorize a Scripture about your identity. Write it down and ask someone to hold you accountable. Transformation requires action, not just information.
