PROMISE #209 - JULY 28

"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name." ~Revelation 3:12

As the Bible says, life is but a vapor. In the view of eternal ages, the length of a man's life is but a twinkle of the eye. This is why we need an eternal mindset, not a temporal one. In 2 Corinthians 4:18, Paul writes, "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

If life pressures overwhelm you, take a moment to consider eternity, regardless of your current circumstances. Today in the Scripture, Jesus Himself promises that He will make us pillars in the temple of His God forever and write each of us a new name!

And as everything around us begins to shake, be encouraged that God is giving us a kingdom that cannot be shaken. One day, in the city of our God, the New Jerusalem, all those who belong to Jesus will be secure!

Prayer:

Father, thank You for the hope I have in You and for the glorious future You have promised me that will never end. When I am overwhelmed by the worries of this world, help me to remember that through my union with Your beloved Son I have an eternal inheritance stored in heaven for me.

I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
