Eternity Starts Now

This is the last verse of the 23rd psalm. I love that it comes at the end of the psalm. After going through the darkest valleys of life with God, David is confident he will not only walk with the LORD every day of this life but that eternity starts now.

“Our Father who art in heaven” is also our Father right here, right now, in this messy moment of life, walking with us. Don’t keep God at a distance. Hold him closely. Talk with Him. Sing with Him. Listen for His wisdom in His Word. Look for His beauty everywhere. Start practicing for heaven right now! I am convinced that the times in my life when I felt God so very near were merely pale foreshadows of the glory He has awaiting us!
