Today and every day moving forward, I am going to drop a short devotional and prayer for you my brother.
December 13 – Peace with Eternity in View
One reason peace slips through your fingers is you’re trying to build a permanent home in a temporary world. Every loss feels like the end because you quietly believe this life is all you’ve got.
Scripture pulls back the curtain. “For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” You are an eternal man passing through a broken world, not a desperate man clinging to every comfort. That shift doesn’t erase grief—but it anchors it.
Jesus beat death. That means even your worst-case scenario is not final. The grave is not the period at the end of your story. It’s a comma in the middle of God’s sentence.
Today, hold your blessings with gratitude, not a death grip. Enjoy them. Steward them. But remind your heart: my hope is not in this house, this job, this body, or this bank account. My hope is in Christ and the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
Let’s pray together,
Lord, thank You that this world is not my final home. When fear of loss or death rises up, remind me of eternity with You. Help me live with open hands and a steady heart, rooted in Your unshakable Kingdom. Fix my eyes on Jesus, my living hope. In His Name, Amen.
