The Eternity of Now

Today’s Reflection

We grow blind to the petty valuations of the world. We grow blind to the obscurity which is our lot, and, in no resentment, joyfully live in Eternity just where we are.

—Keith Beasley-Topliffe, Editor, The Upper Room Spiritual Classics: Writings of Thomas Kelly (Upper Room Books, 2017)

Today’s Question

Has becoming a Christian changed the way you measure your lot in life? How can you find eternal joy that starts right where you are in this life?

Today’s Scripture

And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God abide forever.—1 John 2:17

Prayer for the Week

O God who lives within me, when evil prevails, when dry and barren seasons come, you suffer beside me, and you beckon me into your peace. As I sit, quietly in your presence, you teach me the way of serenity. Amen.
