Eternity to the godly – is a day which has no sun-setting!
Eternity to the wicked is a night which has no sun-rising!
Meditate on that scripture, "And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life." Matthew 25:46.
Meditation on eternity, would make us very serious in what we do.
Meditation on eternity, would make us overlook present worldly things – as flitting and fading.
What is this present world, to him that has eternity in his eye? It is but nothing. He who thinks of eternity, will despise "the passing pleasures of sin."
Meditation on eternity would be a means to keep us from envying the wicked’s prosperity. Here on earth, the wicked may be "dressed in purple and fine linen, and live in luxury every day." But what is this, compared to eternity?
Stephen Covey taught – "begin with the end in mind" – will you?
