Resurrected Life

Jen Weaver shares this from her devotional The Resurrected Life.

“But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.”

Philippians 3:20 NLT

That isn’t poetic language.

It names allegiance.
It names belonging.
It names where your truest loyalty lives.

Resurrection declared a King.

Not private comfort.

A reigning Lord.

And if there is a King, there is a kingdom.

You belong to one that cannot be shaken.

Which sounds strong until you look at your week.

Traffic that tests your patience.
Emails that question your competence.
Conversations where approval feels fragile.
News cycles that churn instability into your stomach.

It’s easy to feel untethered.
Easy to let performance define you.
Easy to let comparison shrink you.

But citizenship precedes circumstance.

You wake up already belonging.

Your worth isn’t under review.

Your identity isn’t to-be-determined.

Your future isn’t up for negotiation.

You belong to a King and Kingdom that will outlast everything.

That doesn’t remove you from this world.

You still sit in meetings.
You still raise children.
You still make hard decisions with limited clarity.

But you are rooted differently.

When instability rises, you don’t scramble for identity.

You carry one.

Where are you letting temporary systems tell you who you are? What's true instead?
