Nothing stays the same but the Lord.
Time bears a momentum that contrasts the things that will pass away against the things that are eternal.
When I was a little child, I was privileged to know and be around scores of older China Inland Mission missionaries who had been forced to leave China. We moved into a Chicago parsonage that was adjacent to two huge buildings housing the returned missionaries. I remember some better than others, but all spoke of the Christians left behind. What I remember most was the constant hope and prayer that they could return to the land of their calling. Although some had lost family to the communists, and all had seen heartache and cruelty, the discussions centered around the work of the Lord and the need to attend to those to whom they had been assigned. Although they all undoubtedly left everything behind, I do not remember hearing about possessions. Just people. The cause of Christ. The Body of Christ.
Far too many Believers are trying to invest in things that are not eternal.
Soldier of The Cross, are you aware of your thoughts?
What are the things that trouble you?
Do they concern others or just yourself?
Are you caught between wanting Him and planting your treasure in the temporal?
The issue is not where we serve, but whom we serve. I have been impacted by school bus drivers, prison guards, librarians and even prisoners, whose lives have been about the Lord. He is able to take that which to us appears to be totally inadequate. and use it to His Glory.
We are sojourners and pilgrims, and our lives should reflect this truth.
He is eager to reveal things that are hidden. Ask Him.
Then, look up and move on!
