“The world passes away, and its lust; but he who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:17).
Everything we see around us is temporary. Riches, honors, joys, and sorrows—none of these will remain. But God remains the same, eternal and unchanging. And before Him we will stand, bearing the weight of the choices we made in this life. Each action, each decision is like a seed sown that will bear fruit in eternity, for life or for condemnation.
Therefore, it is essential to live according to the majestic Law of God and His splendid commandments. They are the standard that guides us to sow what is good, to become more like the Lord, and to prepare ourselves to receive His eternal love. The Father does not send rebels to the Son, but those who decide to obey and walk in the ways He revealed to the prophets and confirmed by Jesus.
So, do not waste your days. The Father blesses and sends to the Son those who keep His sublime Law. Make each act a seed of obedience, and you will be led to eternal life, remaining forever in the love of Jesus. Adapted from Edward B. Pusey. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Eternal Lord, I place myself before You, remembering that this world is passing away, but You remain forever. I want to live in such a way as to sow what has value before You.
Father, teach me to follow Your majestic Law and Your splendid commandments in every detail of my life. May my daily actions be seeds of faithfulness that will bear fruit in eternity.
Oh, beloved God, I thank You because You show me the path to eternal life. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the incorruptible seed of my soul. Your commandments are precious lines that shape my character. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
