Here today, gone tomorrow

Some times it seems like we just can't make it. Yet, perseverance rules the day. Even if it looks like things are falling apart, they aren't. Sometimes others can't see what is going on inside. God is making a new life for us. He is doing it now. Not a day goes by that God's isn't giving us everything we need for the day.

There are things that we see now that have no lasting value. They are here today but may not be 5 years from now. Or even tomorrow for that matter. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses. What is important is what lasts forever.

So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

 

May I stick with God today and forever. May I experience His grace.
