Day 324 – One day in Heaven is like 1000 years on Earth.
Today’s Reading: 1 Peter 5, 2 Peter, 1 John 1
2 Peter 3:8-9 “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”
On earth we have a tendency to focus on “Time”.
We only have 60 seconds in an minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. No matter how much we try, there is no way to increase the number of hours before the new day occurs.
Each day we have to choose between 50 really good things for the Right thing that we should do. We have NO “Time” for Drama!
Our children are growing up before our very eyes and before the blink of an eye they won’t be babies anymore. Our loved ones will pass on when it’s their “Time” to meet the Savior. You know you’ve over stayed your “Time” when conflict and disturbance starts among the kids. It’s “Time” to go.
We don’t need to waste our tears or our “Time” on the small stuff, and that event you just did, well it went over the allotted “Time”. We have a countdown of days until the next Big thing, and there are only 365 days in a year with only 10 left until December and the 25 Days until Christmas movie countdown begins; you better make “Time” for shopping.
We have a calendar for every division in our life, and a different color code in our phone calendar. But with all of our focus on “Time” we may be wasting the precious “Time” God has given us on Earth.
On earth time may seem to fly by, but in Heaven it hardly passes. One day in Heaven is 1000, So, instead of fretting about our time on earth, we should fill it with Love and Joy, making the most of our Heavenly hours. Just think, our loved ones that have gone on before us will only be without us for mere minutes or hours. So I’ve decided to live on God’s time and not my own.
