Abraham's preparation for death, having his affairs in order and living a life full of years, reminds us to live with eternity in mind. We should be ready for our transition from this life to the next, ensuring that our lives reflect our faith and trust in God's eternal promises. Living with eternity in mind means prioritizing what truly matters and aligning our lives with God's purposes.
This perspective helps us to focus on the eternal rather than the temporary, guiding our decisions and actions in a way that honors God. By living with eternity in mind, we can experience a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment, knowing that our lives are part of God's greater plan.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (ESV): "For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."
Reflection: How can you live with eternity in mind today? What changes can you make in your daily life to align more closely with God's eternal purposes?
