Read Philippians 3:20.Paul reminds us that our citizenship is in heaven. How should this shape how we live on earth? What does it mean to live as a heavenly citizen in a broken world? Theological ReflectionWhen we pray “on earth as it is in heaven,” we are not just asking for a future reality but stepping into a present mission. How can your group, your family, and your church become a preview of heaven? Application Each day this week, pray this line of the Lord’s Prayer over one specific place: your home, your workplace, your church, your city. Ask God to bring His kingdom values into that space. Identify one small way you can reflect heaven’s peace, joy, justice, or holiness in a practical way—through forgiveness, encouragement, hospitality, or advocacy. Take time to celebrate stories of heaven breaking into earth—where you’ve seen God’s will done through reconciliation, healing, or spiritual renewal. Closing What would change if we really believed that God wants His kingdom to touch every corner of our lives? Where might God be calling you to join Him in bringing heaven to earth this week?
