Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
I have always loved this verse, because it reminds me that God created us to have a longing for eternity. We long to experience eternity, and we seek God. God promises us we will live with Him forever, and somehow we have a sense of what that means. Yesterday we talked about the first two verses of Genesis. What is the setting (time) of those two verses? We have no idea. It is almost easier to imagine eternity! If anything, today’s verses lead me again to the unfathomable powers of our God. He has let us in on some important truths, but we certainly do not know it all.
Holy Lord, I am so thankful for your promise of eternal life. I do wish I could better understand your Word, but much of it (and you) remain a mystery. Help me to keep my eyes and my heart set on the most important parts of what you have shared. Amen
