If you knew that you only had one more day to live what would you do? My hunch is that this might alter your original plans for the day!
To live the Christian life requires keeping at the forefront of your mind the temporary character of life. This temporary character makes us (in Peter's words) "foreigners" and "exiles" in this life. This temporary character keeps us sober to the fact that we are responsible to serve God through our witness (what others find us doing). Even stronger, Peter calls us to consider ourselves God's "slaves!" Yes, very strong language.
