Distracted By The Urgent!
"Set your mind on things above,
not on things on the earth."
Colossians 3: 2
Distracted Driving Awareness now has its own month—April.
During this month, police will be especially vigilant, and public
service
announcements will fill the airways. Too many people
have been involved in wrecks because they took their eyes
off the road to look at some “urgent” matter on their phone.
This is a metaphor for the way a lot of us are living.
Instead of focusing on our ultimate destination of
heaven, which keeps us on the straight and narrow
path, we're consumed with all the urgent matters
around us.
While we're about our Father’s business on earth,
we must anticipate our Father’s home in heaven.
Pondering Heaven
helps us navigate earth. Rev.
J. C. Ryle, said, “I pity the man who never thinks
of heaven.”
The best way to keep heaven in our mind’s eye is to read
and rehearse the truths about heaven found in the Bible.
When we do that, we live more joyfully and
productively.
Spend time in Scripture today reading one of the
Bible’s great passages about our heavenly home.
"Before we go to our eternal home we
should try to become acquainted with it."
J. C.
Ryle
