From the book “Seeing the Unseen: A Daily Dose of Eternal Perspective” by Randy Alcorn
Blessed day everyone. Welcome to our officially first day of our daily devotions for 2021. Yesterday po ang ating introductory material. I just wanted for all of us to have a bird’s eyeview on what’s gonna happen, Lord willing, sa taong ito. And today, we’ll be looking at again the first day of devotion written by Randy Alcorn. Kung kilala nyo po si Randy Alcorn, one of his famous books is Heaven. That book has really been very helpful for me. Meron pa nga syang child version na pwede nyong basahin sa inyong mga anak.
So anyways, today we’ll be looking at day 1. And the title of today’s devotion is “Living for the line”. Ang ganda no? And sabi nya dito “When we live with eternity in view… but for the line”.
That is very profound mga kapatid. Sa mundong ating ginagalawan, ang tingin ng karamihan ay para dito lamang. But don’t live for the dot, live for the line. And again sabi natin, depende yan kung saan ka mag-i-spend ng eternity, would it be in heaven with Christ Jesus and just marvel at his beauty or would it be in eternal torment in hell.
1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:1 NASB
42 And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
Matthew 10:42 NASB
Our devotion comes from the book:
