Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.
Proverbs 4:25‭-‬27 NKJV

Often times we want to fit in with the world so people won't think we're weird or different. Sometimes we might look at others and think, I wish I had what they have. As Christians we need to keep our eyes on the prize. We have to remember that we have already been given everything in the spiritual places. What we have is eternal and of way more value than anything that this world has to offer. Let's keep our eyes on Jesus. Not so we can keep what's already been freely given to us but so we can enjoy the peace that comes with knowing Jesus.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 1:3-5

I love that passage! It's one of my favorite eternal security passages!

So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun. Ecclesiastes 8:15

Same. Here's another couple texts that I find great consolation in:

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Romans 8:18
Context: Paul is referring to the resurrection here and our entering into the Father's kingdom on a new heaven/earth.

And we know that for those who love God all things *(even the bad things, brothers and sisters)* work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
Asterisks contain my commentary.

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! Psalms 42:11 NLT

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

“ Stay away from fools, for you won't find knowledge on their lips. ”
(Proverbs 14:7 NLT)

So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. 1 Timothy 6:8

We always thank God for all of you and pray for you constantly. 1 Thessalonians 1:2
