A Long Way

God gives us eternal life when we ask. Today as I was thinking about that, it seemed like a really long time. That may sound silly, but when I think of forever, I cannot quite grasp what that will mean. For me, I tend to live life toward a goal, or a variety of goals, all of which have an end point. What will we live eternity for – since there is no end? What will be the reason? I think I may have a suggestion.

Psalms 95:1 O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

It would appear that the goal is to be at rest with God. How many adventures will there be hanging out with Him? We will be able to travel the universe, take care of the earth, and in general be with God physically. Now that will be amazing! Who would want that to end?!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High. You alone are worthy to be praised. You will be with us forever. Let us taste of Your kingdom today Father. Send Your kingdom today. We need You. Send us overwhelming provision today. Forgive us. Heal and deliver us. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
