(September 7, 2015)
In my
other scripture reading today, the reality that life isn’t fair at all was
examined. But here we see flipside of
that position – though life isn’t fair at all, eternity is. We have the comforting words that the works
of the righteous follow after them. Even
if doing the right thing leads to traumatic and horrible results here in
mortality and everything is unfair in how life treats you, you can feel
confident that the day will come when the Lord will make all things right – He
will dry every tear.
This is
the source of patience in affliction.
This is the perspective that empowers us to become prepared for
eternity. And, frankly, with the duration of eternity the capacity for patience
is an absolutely necessary trait that we must each develop.
