Deepening your connection with the Lord depends on various factors, two crucial ones being the amount of quality time you spend in reverence of Him and your ability to maintain an eternal perspective. In many of my previous writings, I have emphasized the impact of spending time with the Lord and God's ability to work in your life's journey. Your perspective is what enables you to be present in this world while remaining spiritually connected to eternity. Let's reflect on Romans 8:18 (NKJV):
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
Living, moving, and having our being solely in the present confines us to a worldly mindset. Jesus willingly went to the cross, not out of compulsion but understanding that the suffering endured is momentary compared to the eternal calling from the Father.
It's crucial to always bear in mind that the things of this world are passing us by, while the Lord, seated on His throne daily in eternity, surpasses them all. We must daily join Him in spirit while navigating the present. This consistent connection will, in turn, cultivate an eternal perspective within you.
