Deuteronomy 2:1-37; Ecclesiastes 2:12-3:15; Luke 6:20-49
He has put eternity in their hearts. Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV
George Swinnock, a Puritan writer, wrote, “The body came from dust, but the soul from the breath of God.” Man has been uniquely created in the image of God. “The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Gen. 2:7). Man is an eternal being, with an eternal soul and as we read in today’s verse, this concept and certainty of eternity has been set in our hearts by the Creator. As we ponder our eternal existence, a larger question looms. Do you know where you will be in eternity? —Pete Smith
Eternity! Time soon will end,
Its fleeting moments pass away,
O, sinner, say, where wilt thou spend,
Eternity’s unchanging day? —Unknown
