Daily Prayer - Who's stupid?

Good Wednesday morning, my friends.
 
In my message yesterday I touched on the subject of eternity, and how if we were to focus on it the decisions we make in this life would be much more Kingdom-centred than self-centred.
 
But we don't or can't focus on eternity because it is a concept that is just so difficult for us to grasp.  Here is a video that brings the idea into focus better than any other example I have seen.  It is just five minutes long but packed with meaning.  And it answers the question: "Who's stupid?"
 
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14)
 
 
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
 
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:9-13)
 
 
Amazing Grace and ETERNAL Peace be yours,
Bruce
 

Father, we too easily misplace our affections on that which lasts only a season, instead of that which is for eternity. 

We thank you for our temporal dwellings; for the comforts they provide, for the joys we experience under our own roof. 

And yet we look forward to a new day when we leave behind our perishable body here on earth and are promoted to our home with the Lord Jesus, where we will fully realize the worth of our heavenly citizenship. 

We so look forward to a new heaven and earth where we will live among the righteous for all eternity. 

And it's all because of Jesus, for which we give thanks!  Amen.
