What hope rests close to your heart?
- I hope for comfortable summer weather
- I hope that my children do well in life
- I hope for God’s direction in my life
- I hope for eternity in heaven
We hope for good weather, enough money, a safe trip, the cure for what ails us, well-behaved children, a better job. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
But God exists outside of time. For him, the end is as the beginning, and a thousand years as a single day. From his point of view, good weather and more money don’t mean much.
