Looking Forward
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as
you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will
bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements
will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with
his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,
where righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:11-13
We live our lives at a fast pace and look rarely to the future. Our
focus is probably always on the here and now if we are truly being
honest, however we probably need to take a moment to look at the future
of our Lord's arrival. If we look at how God wants us to live, then our
focus on the future should be one of joy and rejoicing, but many times
we tend to focus on ugliness that this sinful world has going on. While
we don't know when the day of our Lord will come, we do know He is
going to come, so we should live an honorable and holy life. This life
of honor should include things in the present that impact people
eternally. Focus on looking forward, but also zero in on how you can
make an impact eternally.
Have a great weekend.
