We yearn for there, but we are living here.
As one songest wrote, “I’m longing for home…
…For the sun’s going down. I want to go where
Sweet rest can be found.
We labor here for a short time
But then and there, time will be no more.
That’s what we mean by eternity.
It’s infinity with no beginning or end.
When we enter eternity, perhaps we should think.
If it’s going to “be” longer than forever
Could it be it’s already there and “being?”
Our beginning, truth. But how long for others already gone?
If I’m going to worship there
Then I should praise, worship and elevate here.
Don’t wait until then,
Why not do it now? Here. This moment.
Psalms 150:1-6 NKJV
Praise the LORD!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!
Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!
Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD!
If we will do it here and there, why not let it be who we are all the time in the Here and Now and not just in the Then and There?
