Eternal seems so far away. I can’t identify with eternal when I need to make dinner, pay the bills and run the kids to practice this afternoon. We’re so confined by the everyday, the temporary, it’s hard to think in terms of eternal. Time is always pressing on us!
If you have time—no—take time to sit for a few minutes and contemplate eternity. Once life here is ended there are no more opportunities. Mo more opportunities to make things right between you and that other person. No more chances to tell your neighbor about Christ, no more opportunities to develop Christlike character. It’s so easy to put those things off until a more convenient time.
God is eternal and so are we. We will live forever, either with Him or without Him. Are we making time for what’s important or just doing what’s urgent?
Since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you should be living! 2 Peter 3:11
