Psalm 106 was written as a song celebrating repentance. It reviews all God had done up until the point of its writing and gives praise to God’s unceasing ability to forgive us and save us from the consequences of our sin. At the end of the chapter in verse 48 the author sums it all up with, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord. Because of His everlasting love and ability to save us, He deserves our praise for all eternity.

Being popular, wealthy, or famous is not something to be envied. No matter how much money or notoriety someone has, it will all wither away in the end. Psalm 37:1-2 1 Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; 2 for like the grass they will soon wither. like green plants they will soon die away. What matters in this life are the things that last for eternity, not just in this lifetime. God asks us to live our lives differently than how the rest of the world lives their lives. Our value comes from our relationship with God and what we do to impact this world for all eternity.

When we read Psalm 23 we all tend to focus on the part where God is with us in the face of danger. But at the end of the Psalm David talks about God’s real promise to us in Psalm 23:6, Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Because of our relationship with God, He will always follow us even to the point of death, which is not the end, it is simply the beginning of “forever”.

How we define “richness” is different than the way God defines it. In 2 Corinthians 8:9 Paul reminds the Corinthians of this, For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. Our richness is defined by what we received from Christ when He died on the cross for us. Our richness comes in the form of eternal life and richness in glory spent with Him. How we define richness in this life will pale in comparison to what He has in store for us. We allow ourselves to be blinded by the temporary and fleeting riches of this life while we should be focusing on what eternity has in store for us. His plan is greater than we could ever hope or imagine.

It is a good thing for us that this life is not all there is. In 2 Corinthians 4:18 Paul says, So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. As believers we all know there is life after death and the best is yet to come. When we look at this life in the light of eternity, we look forward to a place that can help us live above the hardships we face in this current life.

I love reading Paul’s quote from Hosea 13:14 in 1 Corinthians 15:55, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” Because of Christ’s victory over death through salvation we no longer have to fear death and the uncertainty of eternity. When we have faith in God, and His promises through Christ, we are certain of our eternal life in heaven with Him.

The very first sentence in Luke 24:6, “He is not here; he has risen!” How beautiful are those words! Today I also read a quote that said, “Earth’s saddest day and gladdest day were just… three days apart.” So true! While today is Good Friday and we remember the crucifixion, in just three days we celebrate the most hopeful of days, His resurrection! Praise God for loving us so much that even in the darkest of days His light will always shine through. Have a blessed weekend as we focus on all Christ sacrificed so that we can have a relationship with Him for all eternity.

Jesus has been around since the beginning. And while we all tend to focus on the destruction of morals in our society, we forget this is no surprise to the creator of the universe. When this world burns away, He will still exist and be unchanged by any of it. In Matthew 24:35 Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. You cannot change the truth. You can try to deny or ignore it, but truth remains forever.

Jesus has been here since the beginning and He is not going anywhere. Luke 21:33 says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. No matter how hard things become for us, there is one thing we will always be able to count on; God’s presence in our lives. This life as we know it will be long gone but God will be around forever. This is a great reminder that good and bad days will come, but there is always tomorrow and God is always there.

Following Jesus takes some sacrifice. It is not always apparent how much we are called to sacrifice, but when the time comes, if we are faithful, our reward is great. In Matthew 19:29 Jesus says, And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. Ultimately, our reward is not in this life but in heaven. Holding onto earthly rewards, while fulfilling in the moment, does not last. We should always strive for rewards that last through eternity.
