What does the worker get for his work? 10 I have seen the work which God has given the sons of men to do. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has put thoughts of the forever in man’s mind, yet man cannot understand the work God has done from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and to do good as long as they live. 13 And I know that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his work. It is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will last forever. There is nothing to add to it, and nothing to take from it. God works so that men will honor Him with fear.” Ecclesiastes 3:9-14 NLV
God has put thoughts of eternity in our minds. How beautiful are those thoughts!
King David let those thoughts fill his mind. Many times throughout the Psalms he wrote “and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever”, “let me live in your house all the days of my life” and “better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere”.
Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, told his disciples that He was leaving to prepare a place for us. A place with many mansions and that He would return for us so that we could always be with Him.
“Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me. 2Â There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I wouldn’t tell you this, unless it was true. I am going there to prepare a place for each of you. 3Â After I have done this, I will come back and take you with me. Then we will be together.” John 14:1-3 CEV
All things will be beautiful! I am so grateful that the Lord cares for us and prepares our future.
“It is wonderful to be grateful and to sing your praises, Lord Most High! 2 It is wonderful each morning to tell about your love and at night to announce how faithful you are. 3 I enjoy praising your name to the music of harps, 4 because everything you do makes me happy, and I sing joyful songs.” Psalm 92:1-4 CEV
Take time to sing praises to the Lord. Be grateful for the beautiful things He has done and for those things that are yet to come!
How blessed we are to be loved by the Lord, it makes my heart sing!
