Frozen Snowball
Read: Hebrews 12:25-13:6
We are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken. Hebrews 12:28
Bible In One Year: Job 30-31; Acts 13:26-52
Baseball pitcher Tug McGraw had a wonderful philosophy of pitching. He called it hisfrozen snowball theory.If I come in to pitch with the bases loaded,Tug explained,and heavy hitter Willie Stargell is at bat, theres no reason I want to throw the ball. But eventually I have to pitch. So I remind myself that in a few billion years the earth will become a frozen snowball hurtling through space, and nobodys going to care what Willie Stargell did with the bases loaded!
The Bible tells us the earth will somedaymelt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up(2 Peter 3:10). Yet McGraws point is valid: We need to keep life in perspective. Most of the things we worry about have no eternal significance.
The writer of Hebrews was concerned about our perspective. Throughout the book, he keeps our eyes focused on heaven and away from earth. Unless our minds are on heaven, we will have little eternal influence on earth.
There will come a time when the earth will be shaken, and things that once seemed permanent will be gone (Hebrews 12:27). What you fear most today will be forgotten like yesterdays headlines. What really matters is what you do today that has a touch of eternity about it. Haddon Robinson
O for a heart that is willing to serve,
Laboring while it is day!
Nothing is lost that is done for the Lord,
He will reward and repay. Anon.
The one who lives for this life only will have eternity to regret it.
