What if you knew that tomorrow, our world was coming to an end? What would become important to you? Would you seek to buy more stuff? Would you spend the time catching up on your favorite TV show? You would most likely spend time with those you love or even begin sharing Jesus with anyone you could find.

While it may not be tomorrow (even though it is possible), the Bible shares that everything we know will change one day. There will be no more money to collect, or career to build, or earth to stand on. The only things that will remain are those things that are eternal. While money may be burned up, giving money to the Lord now changes lives for eternity. On the same note, our careers may not last, but when we witness to a co-worker, we have just helped form a relationship that will last forever. You see, friend, God has created us to be eternal beings. Our greatest purpose is to love God and enjoy Him forever. What's great is that we don't have to wait to fulfill that purpose. As we start loving God and others, we begin sowing into eternal things and forever changing our world.

Life Lesson: As children of God, we should live for the eternal, not the temporal.

Dear God,
I know that I was not created to simply occupy this world. You have greater things for me to do that will last for eternity. Open my eyes to opportunities to share Your love and grace with others so they can know about eternal life. Help me to look past this world so that I am inspired by the next.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
