God invites us to look at everything in the context of eternity. Context is a beautiful thing, because it shows us the true value of things. A billionaire cares little about his money if his five-year-old son has cancer. That’s context. When the doctor tells you that you have only six months to live, you very quickly develop clarity around what matters most and what matters least. That’s context. Context gives us the clarity we need to make great decisions.
Today: Consider these questions: Are you more passionate and enthusiastic about the things of this world or the things of the next world? Are you more passionate about accumulating things in this world than about caring for the less fortunate, relieving the suffering of the poor, and working to eradicate injustice?
