Look Up

Look Up

 

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men.

 —Ecclesiastes 3:11

 

You have chosen to follow one who has prepared a great future for you. Christ has gone away from earth, but He is not idle. In heaven, His Father’s estate, Christ is preparing a home where you will live with Him for all eternity. Someday He’ll come back to take you there—if you don’t go there before, through death. Keep looking up. Focus on the future, not on the sad events of time. Focus on the wonderful eternity, one filled with surprises, that awaits you. Your future is bright, no matter what happens on the earth. Live each day as if it would be your first day in your heavenly home.

 

Lord Jesus, I praise You for the future that You have planned for me. Help me never to lose sight of what is ahead. I pledge to keep looking up—to stay focused on what You have promised me. Amen.
