Eternity
I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 10th of October, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
We start in the Book of Psalms 90:10:
“The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,…”
Then we go to James 4:14 which says:
“For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.”
Where are you and I spending all our time worrying? We worry so much about temporary things. We worry because somebody doesn’t like us, because somebody has decided not to speak to us, because we are not as popular now as we were a few weeks ago. Why are we crowding our minds and our thoughts all day long because we have been offended, because things are not going the way we think, and we neglect to concentrate on eternal things. The worldly things we can see, the eternal things we can’t see and maybe that is the reason.
So we can see that person there who doesn’t like us and we have to deal with it. We can see the situation around us. We can hear it, we can even smell it, sometimes we can taste it, but eternal things, things of great consequence, we are going to spend time with Jesus forever and ever and ever. How much time do we spend thinking about those things? If we do, it will make the things of this world become insignificant. They won’t count. They won’t mean a thing!
We are so worried about what we are going to eat tomorrow and we don’t think about spending millions and millions and millions of years in the presence of Almighty God, where there is joy, peace and hope and every good thing you can think of. If Christ is for you, the Bible tells us, there is no man that can stand against you.
Let us start to concentrate on things that have eternal value. Let us start to develop our prayer life, to talk with Jesus, to spend time with Him, because we are going to be spending time with Him forever and ever, and those silly little things and those accusations and those little words which are not true that are spoken about you, don’t worry about them! Just dust them off your shoulder like you would a little leaf or something that has fallen on your shoulder, just dust it off.
Today, let us concentrate on things worth praying about.
Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
