Day 70: Short Term vs Long Term

Once our ears are opened to listen wisdom discloses to us two different realms of being: the temporal and the eternal. The security which wisdom offers has its foundation in the latter realm, the eternal. On the other hand since all human efforts to achieve security are limited to the temporal realm, any success they achieve is of the same kind, it’s temporal, it’s temporary, but never permanent. The Bible offers a direct personal relationship with Jesus Christ beautifully summed up in Psalm 23. In verse 1 David says, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall lack nothing.” The supply of all my needs is guaranteed on the basis of my personal relationship to the Lord.
