ETERNITY
Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 3-4

"God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end." Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT

As His created we are filled with anticipation and angst for future things.

We are wired with a desire for heaven and a dread for what we must endure before getting there.

We have an innate longing for eternity with our Lord combined with flesh that is seduced by this world and its trappings.

He created us with a spirit intended for eternal praise in His presence and with a mission to reach the lost while on our pilgrimage.

He has given us blessed hope in our secure future interwoven with a faith in the unseen.

We all have souls only He can satisfy battling character traits that seek independence and self-sufficiency.

We hunger and thirst after Him even after attempting to busy ourselves with less holy pursuits.

In the end, and I believe this is where Solomon was going with his thoughts, God is God...and we are still only, but blessedly, His created.
