"If an instant of time be
conceived, which cannot be divided into the smallest particles of moments, that
alone is it, which may be called present. Which yet flies with such speed from
future to past, as not to be lengthened out with the least stay. For if it be,
it is divided into past and future. The present hath no space."—The Confessions
of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Book XI, Chapter XV, There Is Only A Moment
of Present Time
"When we step out of time
and into eternity everything will be one big panorama. We will see the
past; we will see the present; we will see the future—perfectly unfolded
and it will all work together for good to those who love God—and it will make
sense."—Pastor Ray C. Stedman
Heavenly Father, I praise you for
your amazing sovereignty. You wove me together in my mother’s womb, saw me
before I was born, and have already recorded every day of my life. You charted
the path ahead of me and laid out every moment before a single day had passed.
I don’t have to fear because you are with me, before me, behind me, surrounding
me. Help me to live
this day in the light of eternity, amen.
How about you? In what
ways do you seek to live each day in the light of eternity?
