2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
I struggle at times with anxiety. I worry about work, my family and details in life. Children and teenagers cry and obsess about things that we as adults know is not important. Not getting the pefect prom dress may seem like a disaster at the time, but in a short time is not even remembered. God looks at me and wonders when I will ever get that the things I am worried about, in His time will all be forgotten, although now seem unsolvable.
The steps pictured above are steps in Jerusalem. Our tour guide stated historically, Jesus would most definately walked. They were the steps back and forth to the temple and the steps to Caiphus the High Priest house. While this was 2 thousand years ago, in the realm of eternity, it is only two days. This is why eternity matters, not the small insignificant things I worry about.
God, give me your wisdom to see life in the perspective of eternity and be aware of what is really important.
