"Beloved, I wish above all
things
that thou mayest prosper and
be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth."
3 John 2
Keep Your Eyes Upon Jesus
People in this world today fuss and argue
over
the world's resources ~
Hope
for life, health, financial prosperity,
international peace,
and a
set of favorable circumstances.
These
resources are good in their own way,
but
they have a fatal defect . . .
they
are uncertain and transitory!
We
may have them today,
but
tomorrow, they may also be gone!
This
is the way with all earthly things since sin came
to
upset the beautiful order of nature
and
made the human race victims of chance and change.
We
desire for all God's children a full measure of
every
safe and pure blessing that the earth and sky
might
unite to bring them.
But
if in the sovereign will of God things go against us,
what
do we have left?
If
life and health are placed in jeopardy,
what
about our everlasting resources?
If
the world's foundations crumble,
we
still have God and in Him we have everything essential
to
our ransomed beings forever!
We
have Christ, Who died for us!
We
have the Scriptures, which never fail us!
We
have the faithful Holy Spirit, which forever guides
us!
And
if worse comes to worse here on earth,
we
have our Father's house and His welcoming arms!
May
we always look to the resources in life
which
will endure.
May
we always
Keep our eyes upon Jesus!
