Living In Light Of The Eternal

Good Morning!! God’s Word makes it pretty clear, that our bodies are only temporary. If you believe the prognosis given to you by the Great Physician, it will not only change your perspective on physical death and the fact that it is unavoidable,...it will change your life now. There is a very tangible sense of peace that comes with aligning your beliefs with what is true about the death and resurrection of your body. Stress and worry evaporate, in the presence of this type of true belief. There is a freedom, in this truth. There's no sense in denying it, or attempting to avoiding it: Our bodies will die. So why not live fearlessly? Why not live with focus? Why not live with fervor?

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.—Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
If we only have one earthly life to live, why not push the envelope of our comfort zones, and allow Christ to live through us and lead us into worthwhile and demanding new endeavors? We can be sure that God will be with us and support us.

Here's a prime example of living in the shadow of death; " What's the worst that can happen to you?...You die,...What's the best that can happen to you?...You do something meaningful, before you die!”

Father God, we want to use the short time we have to do what You plan for us! As we start to look outward for ways for You to live through us, give us Your eyes so we may see where we're meant to be. When we start crawling to fulfill Your plan, pick us up into a walk, and eventually a run,...that turns into a marathon towards Your glory. Overcome our fear and author our stories in radical ways. Amen.

" The Lord loves a cheerful giver,...until he brags about it."
