Just before I awoke this morning I can remember these words "Now I live with a eternal view" .
I use to look at life as here and now but now I look at it from a eternal view. " Seek first the kingdom of God" I never really thought of eternity. I was just concentrated on what was happening before me . But when you look at life from an eternal view things take on a different view. And my life has certainly changed.
I was always scared to think about eternity. I was so so scared of death. It use to give me anxiety it still does a bit because as it says in my life scripture "Lean not on our own understanding Proverb 3:5-6".
I couldn't fathom what it was like. When I writing fathom I thought about God's love for us and
I found this blog. So that's why I couldn't comprehend eternity.
Live in the here and now but have a eternity view on it. Matthew 6....Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
I am learning not to live in the past or to think about the future NOW because that's how I get anxious. Tomorrow has enough problems of its own. Now I am living in the here and now but with a eternal perspective. When I was writing about worry I Google it because I knew it came from a scripture. It is from Matthew 6
Do Not Worry
25“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?
28“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
But I am expectant now of eternity. Just like a pregnant mother waiting for her child to be born. I too am looking forward to it. But on God's timming not mines 😁😇😂😂.
With my blogs I like to find a photo to go with it. I chose this one and I am glad I did. Because it came with
this info which I found interesting 🤔.
