As a kid I dreamt of having a time machine to travel through time. This is a little strange I know, but you know you wished you had one as well! My fascination and obsession with history led me to want to travel BACK in time to see great battles unfold before my eyes, to see MLK give his inspiring speeches, to see Billy Graham at Madison Square Garden, and to see all the animals fight for their spot on the Ark.
So I go to college and majored in history and now I am in seminary where the majority of what I study is history. So all of this fits. However, my fascination with history has led me to spend a great deal of time using my brain to go back in-time. It’s really easy to go back into the past and marvel at your accomplishments and dread your mistakes, but what if we could have a time machine. The closest I have seen to a time machine is on my mac.
What if we could have a time machine that did not take us into the past, but into the future?
In 86 days I am getting married!! I cannot wait! I look back over the time that we have been engaged and honestly a lot of it is a blur because we have done so much planning and have spent so much time investing in getting married. Both Jenna and I are counting down the 86 days left to go. If I could take my time machine and go anywhere in the future I would take it straight to June 28.
If you had a time machine where would you get it to take you? What events would you want to bypass? What hurts would you want to avoid? What person would you not want to see?
If you are a Christian you hold onto the inheritance that God has promised us, one that will never perish spoil or fade. A promise that we will spend an eternity in the presence and Glory of God.
God is not limited by time, he is not bound to man’s time constraints. God took us through our past, is walking with us today, and will be there in our future.
