Week of January 12, 2025

01-12-25 prayer picture.jpg

I see a picture like this and I can practically feel my nose hairs freezing!  I remember trips into the mountains in winter, and I remember my toes beginning to sting and my fingers becoming chunks of ice.  At the same time, I’m amped up by the beauty and the challenge of it all.  It really boils down to whether I’m prepared, or if I’m unprepared because I didn’t adequately think things through.

​

The same holds true in our spiritual lives.  We will live forever, not as disembodied spirits, but as either “resurrected” beings, or as “translated” beings… if we live long enough to experience the rapture.  Either way, in our new perfect bodies we’ll live forever.

​

Now, how we experience that eternal life depends on how well we’ve prepared.  Are you living this present period of time only for your own pleasures, or are you living for God?  Whether you like it or not, you were created to live for Him.  In fact, the greatest pleasure we can experience, the greatest satisfaction and joy possible, only comes through living out what you were created to do, and that is to live for God through faith in Jesus.

​

Eternal life is a reality, and it’s either harsh and terrifying, or it’s exhilarating and filled with hope, anticipation, and joy.  How you experience it will depend on how prepared you are.

​

Where might you begin in preparing for life in eternity which, by the way, will be life in the presence of God?  The easiest first step is, by faith, to come into His presence in prayer.  Ask Him what He desires from you, and then obey what you sense Him telling you.

​

All of the Christian life boils down to God’s grace and our entering into a relationship with Him through prayer.  This one discipline is the foundation of every other spiritual practice.  We ignore it at our own peril.

​

How prepared are you for eternity?  Pray about it.
