In The Middle Of Eternity - Thoughful Tuesdays


It is the Thoughtful Tuesday today.
There are many people who have been close to God and have given us good thoughts to meditate on.
God's Word gives us many verses we need to pray about.
Today is dedicated to those thoughts, ideas, verses and words that make us think and make us want to be closer to God.
Here are today's thoughts!



Here I sit in the middle of eternity.  This wheelchair has helped me sit still.  I’ve observed with curiosity the way we Christians grasp for the future, as if the present didn’t quite satisfy.  How we, in spiritual fits and starts, scrape and scratch our way along, often missing the best of life while looking the other way, preoccupied with shaping our future.  In my least consistent moments I too try to wrest the future out of his hands.  Or worse, I sink back into the past and rest on long-ago laurels  But God is most concerned with the choices I make now.  God, standing silently and invisibly and presently with us in the middle of eternity, is interested in a certain kind of change.  He brings us choices through which we never-endingly change, fresh and new into his likeness.
Joni Eareckson Tada



For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
1 Chronicles 16:26
