Living for God in a Godless Society Part 3नमूना
DON'T LOOK AWAY!
The almost unbelievable story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego reveals a trio of friends who knew the real God in their life. And they knew He was mightier than what they saw and felt in the culture around them. Exile was hard. Surviving an evil empire was hard. Still, over and over again, when they were tempted to look away and do the easy or the convenient (or the life-saving!) thing, they made the difficult choice. They kept their eyes fixed on God and chose to obey Him. Their perspective on life was not rooted in this temporary world they could see with their eyes. That's why they could stand when everyone around them bowed. And why they could say, "But even if He does not…." Their trust was in Someone greater and His eternal promises.
It is good to remind yourself that life in this world is temporary. Your eternal home is with God in His Kingdom. Everything here will one day pass away, and He will make “all the sad things come untrue” (The Jesus Storybook Bible).
Ask Yourself:
-How does my view of eternity impact how I live now?
-What have I learned from Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego this week?
Pause to pray: Lord, I choose to keep my eyes fixed on You. Help me to see things from an eternal perspective, knowing that this world and its temptations and sorrows are temporary. Help me to rest in knowing that what is seen will not last but what is unseen is eternal. Amen.
Take a Next Step: Consider your calendar for the upcoming week. What do you find there that needs you to trust God more deeply, rely on yourself less, and keep an eternal perspective? Set an alarm to pray specifically over that appointment every day.
