“For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” – 2 Corinthians 5:1With this Scripture, do others see the simplicity & truth of not building up treasure in this world? Why do I want to deny this world so much? Why do I look forward to the end of my lifespan? I will make the most of each day & honor that Christ Jesus has put me here, yet because I believe in Jesus, I will inherit eternal life & will not taste death. What moths & rust can destroy is not what I want. I want to plow the fields & plant the seeds of daily prayer & reading the Biblical Scripture as often as possible. It is so important to me to be in the right with God. We all know that this world is temporary. Why do people not admit this & continue to put worldly things on the throne that they worship? As I’ve been receptive to the Lord’s calling on my life, I feel a peace & love that is not of this world. Scripture says that God gives not the type of peace that the world gives, but a peace that surpasses all understanding. As per usual, these blog posts might be a rant & rave of current understanding & thoughts. My hope & faith is that my words are directed to be a help to myself & others. For us all to see what is true, I beg of you, to look past this temporary life, & to focus on the Eternal Life given through Christ Jesus. |
