Godsight

There is hindsight, foresight, and insight - and then there is Godsight.

Being a follower of Christ and a student of God's Word, I am becoming empowered by the reality that a) heaven is in my future, and b) while I await the fullness that will be revealed in the eternal state of heaven, the qualities that depict God's glorious order there also exist here, now, and in my world, for God's glorious order is eternal. As I seek and celebrate these qualities, a deep faith-in-God worldview is cultivated.

The quandary of two opposing kingdoms in my world is evident: the kingdom of evil dominated by Satan, and the kingdom of good ruled by God. But "opposite" by no means mean "equal," for the true ruler of my world always has, always is, and always will be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and it always has, always is, and always will be in my greatest interest to seek and see him in every season and in every place. By doing so I am enabled to live within, beyond, and above life's crude and cruel experiences, and consequently step into the rich and dynamic life that is mine to know in Christ.

Each chapter of my book begins with a reflection of what God's glorious order might look like in the eternal state of heaven. It then goes into how the qualities that depict God's glorious order there also exist here, now, and in my world, qualities such as blessing, goodness, holiness, compassion, obedience, peace, justice, and so on. Each chapter also concludes with an affirming prayer.
