I have a new mantra: "It's temporary." Regardless of what it is, it's temporary. Riches, poverty, health or sickness--it's temporary. There are so many things in life that we dread: trips to the dentist, shots for the pet, scheduled surgery, paying for Christmas extravagances, getting let go at work, spending time with the in-laws, writing the final paper,__________________. You can fill in the blank.
But--it is all temporary! This too shall pass! Crying lasts for the night, but joy comes in the morning! God's mercies are new every morning!
We wait for so many events to transpire: the car to be paid for, the bone to heal, the son to get a job, the daughter to make a committment, the chemotheraphy to be over, the light to turn green. It's temporary. Those things will happen in due season.
The only thing that is not temporary is eternal life. And we spend so little time preparing for the most important part of our life, the part after life; The part that truly isn't temporary. Won't you spend some time today preparing yourself for eternal life? Make sure that your heart is fixed and that your purpose is clear. Make sure that your "account is settled."
