We Are Not Crushed

Those who keep Heaven in view remain serene and cheerful in the darkest days. If the glories of Heaven were real to us, if we lived less for material things and more for things eternal, we would be less easily disturbed by the things of this present life. 

This is not escapism. If anything, a firm faith in the future should makes us more responsible in the present. The real escapism, I would contest, is refusing to face the future God has prepared for us. 

In these days of uncertainty, the trusting and forward looking Christian remains optimistic and joyful, knowing that Christ someday must rule and that "if we endure, we shall also reign with Him" {2 Timothy 2:12}. Have a blessed day.
