You know, God’s Word has a wonderful promise. It says in Ecclesiastes, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart.”

When we view our lives through our limited human perspective, we can fall into the trap of questioning God and doubting His promises. We don’t understand why things don’t happen in our time frame, or within our parameters. But when we look through God’s eternal perspective, the problems we face in our daily lives become trivial. And, the tasks God has laid out for us—such as proclaiming His Good News—become even more important. Proclaiming Jesus our Lord is one of those “beautiful things” God has made.

This week, ask God to reveal to you whom He wants you to talk to. Take on His eternal perspective, and spend your time doing things to help share the Good News. I urge you to focus your passions this week on these things—which have eternal ramifications—instead of wasting time fretting about trivial problems. There is nothing more effective in a person’s life than the life-changing Good News found in the Gospel.
