If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world (1 Corinthians 15:19 GNB).
When God talks to you and gives you a revelation or information, it’s not for nothing. It’s always for a purpose. He always connects everything He does with eternity, because He thinks in terms of eternity. Apart from the fact that He’s the eternal God, He always deals with things that last forever. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV), the Bible says, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart…." He brought eternity to men so they can see beyond this world.
Sadly, too many Christians don’t realize this; hence their business, family plans, interests and relationships are not connected to eternity. Such folks are living an empty life without realizing it. Everything God is interested in, and all that He does, are connected to eternity. So set your focus on eternity. Set your mind on God’s purpose for your life. That’s what counts! It has to be a revelation that you accept, endorse and imbibe into your spirit; a knowledge that is a controlling principle in your life. That means everywhere you go, and everything you do is only inspired by God’s eternal purpose and perfect will for your life. This is so important because God only connects Himself with things that matter; things that have connection with eternity.
The Lord is teaching, inspiring, and strengthening you through His Word today, because He’s looking beyond the present moments; beyond the month or year you’re in presently. He’s even looking beyond all the years that you would live on earth. He’s rather looking at what you will do with your life in this world that would determine what eternity would be for you. Therefore, look beyond this world.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for teaching me the essence of looking beyond the present moments and connecting everything I do here on earth to eternity. Therefore, the decisions I make concerning my life, family, job and everything else are founded on God’s eternal Word. Hallelujah!
