Day 2a

Psalm 62:5,"Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him."  Today, God put on my heart that I need to live for eternity.  This life is not about the present.  It is about living for the Lord in every area of my life as I wait for His return.  I am not living for this life.  I am living for eternity.  Jesus, I pray my choices today will Honor you for eternity.  Jesus, give me love for your creation.  Give me a desire to follow after you with all my heart.  Help me not to live for my selfish desires but help me to live for you.  I pray that today the way I treat others will bring you Glory.  The scale dims in comparison to a whole eternity without the presence of the Lord.  I want to live with Jesus forever.  I want to enjoy His presence in heaven.  I want to fellowship with believers in heaven for all my days.  Is it worth giving up all of that to trust in an idol.  Of course not!  Jesus, set that in my heart today.  Keep my eyes focused on the prize.  Please show me how to die to self and live for You.  In every area of my life, from eating to witnessing to loving my family, may I set my eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of my Faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, to sit at the right hand of the Father, full of grace and truth.  Jesus, I want to REALLY KNOW YOU.  Set me on the course of eternity.
