Eternal vs. Temporal Hope

Devotional
Could it be that we have traded eternal hope for temporal hope? In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of temporary things. However, the hope we have in Jesus Christ is eternal and far surpasses any temporary satisfaction. Reflect on the areas of your life where you may have placed your hope in temporary things. Ask God to help you shift your focus to His eternal promises and to live each day with the assurance that He is making all things new.
