Eternal Hope

Sometimes, one of the most difficult things to do is to maintain a healthy perspective of eternity.  As "life happens" and we shoulder the load of unexpected challenges, we can easily shift our focus to the temporal.  We can easily become distracted by the hope of immediate relief.  However, Psalm 17:15 gives us an alternative way of viewing life.  "As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness."  We can take great pleasure that despite life's mishaps, the "reset button" will be pressed when we reach eternity.  In the big picture, this is what really matters.  My friend, take heart; eternity trumps the temporal every time.  If you know Jesus as your personal Savior, you always have eternal hope!

Happy Friday!
