Looking back over your life isn’t it amazing how fast everything goes by! When I was in grade school, I used to look out the classroom window and daydream about the day I would no longer be in school and could get on with life.
Not that many years later I was out of school and getting on with life. There came a point where I began to dream about the day when I would not have to go to work at such and such a time, and could retire.
Now I find myself in full-time ministry after I quote, retired. I am not dreaming about quitting doing that, but I know the day will come when that part of my life will also be over.
I have come to understand that whatever circumstance I find myself in on my journey it is only for a short time. I could be going through an awful trial, and we all go through them, or a mountain top experience, it is only for a short time. It is not for eternity.
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4 NIV
