In the
economy of eternity God sees a thousand earth years as a day! According to the
Bible we are just beginning the third day since the birth of Christ. From our
finite viewpoint, 90 years is a long life and a worthy goal. From our heavenly
Father’s eternal viewpoint, our lives are but a moment in time. Peter calls it,
“a little while.” (see 1 Peter 1:6)
But
do not forget this one thing, dear friends. With the Lord a day is like a
thousand years and a thousand years are like a day. 2 Peter 3:8
And in 2
Corinthians 4:17, Paul calls our earthly tribulations, “light and momentary troubles.” What would happen
if we begin to view our lives in light of eternal reality? Bringing glory to
God and sharing love in His name would be of the utmost value.
Store up
for yourself treasures in heaven. (see Matthew 6:20) and I’ll see you in heaven
in just a minute.
Father,
Your purposes and plans are eternal. Your thoughts
and Your ways are so much higher than ours. Help us to trust You with our
finite earthly lives, knowing we have an eternity of glory awaiting us.
In Jesus name,
Amen
