Scripture: “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” – 2 Corinthians 4:17
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” – Habakkuk 2:14
Repentance resets our priorities. The struggles and pressures of this life are temporary compared to the eternal glory God has prepared. During Teshuvah, we lift our eyes beyond the temporal toward the eternal.
Jewish tradition emphasizes remembering our mortality during the High Holy Days. Messianic believers anchor this reflection in the hope of resurrection and eternal glory through Yeshua. Our repentance is not despair but preparation for eternity.
Reflection: – How does the hope of eternal glory shape your perspective today? – What temporary burdens do you need to lay down in light of eternity?
Prayer: God of Glory, lift my eyes to eternity. Let me not be consumed by temporary struggles. Fill me with hope and joy as I anticipate the fullness of Your Kingdom. Amen.
