In the Blink of An Eye

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.  ––1 John 5:11-12

The human condition is just that: conditional. For men of God who are called to have a different, eternal mindset, the troubles—or conditions—of this world are temporary. Think of a mile-long piece of rope with one tip dipped in a tiny dab of red paint. We are living the “red paint part” of our lives right now; the rest of our existence will be in heaven.

But make no mistake, eternity does not start when you die; it started the moment you were conceived. All of us are eternal beings, born with an eternal spirit destined to either live with God forever, or be separated from Him for eternity. This is one of the truths about God’s Kingdom that the devil will desperately try to make you forget. Instead of taking an eternal perspective regarding every situation and relationship in your life, he wants to inject you with anxiety about today, shame over yesterday, and worry over tomorrow. See the pattern?

Today is the only condition in our lives over which we maintain any semblance of control. Yesterday is set in stone, tomorrow is unknown, but today we are dealing with wet cement. There are actions you can take and words you can speak that can change today; change how others interact with you, and change the effect you have for God’s Kingdom. Start here:

Yes, life IS hard and then we die. I’m not suggesting we stick our heads in the sand or choose the route of denial. But the reality is that God’s Kingdom is real, present, and more powerful than your problems or mine. In the blink of an eye you will slip into that part of life where you have fewer years remaining than the years in your rearview mirror. Embrace God’s perspective—it is eternal, and it is wonderful.

Father, help me rise above the tide of my problems to see Your eternal horizon. I don’t want to waste the only thing I have on this earth: today.

  5. This analogy of the red part of the rope is so powerful! It’s a great reminder that when we focus too much on today’s struggles, we lose sight of the bigger picture. Keeping an eternal perspective really shifts the way we approach our challenges.

  6. I listen to hundreds of Bible teaching sessions a month and only comment on a few. I believe you are anointed with clarity in referencing specific verses that fit so well with your message. Thank you for helping me begin my day with the truth of Gods word.
