You are on the road to eternity!
(You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)
"For I know that You will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living." Job 30:23
"Man's days are determined; You have decreed the number of his months, and have set limits he cannot exceed!" Job 14:5
If you are in Christ, you may well bear your afflictions and trials—as death will put an end to all your troubles!
If a man on a journey has poor accommodations where he lodges only for a night—he will not trouble himself much about the matter. He knows that he is not to stay there—that it is not his home.
Let it not distress you, that you meet with some hardships in the 'inn of this world'.
Fret not, if things are not so well with you, as they are with some others. One man travels with a polished cane in his hand; while his fellow traveler, perhaps, has but a common stick—either of them will serve the turn. It is no great matter which of them are yours; as both will be laid aside when you come to your journey's end.
You are on the road to eternity!
"O Lord, help me understand my mortality, and the brevity of life!
