We have a God who lives forever and He offers Eternal life to us, His human creatures. We're reminded of this promise in today's selected verse. We are faced every day with decisions which we must make in our lives. Often we ask ourselves what people will think if we make a certain decision and we become overly concerned with the opinion of others. Instead of being anxious about what other people might think of us what we really need to ask ourselves is “What will God think?” Our verse tells us that to do the will of God, to live so as to please Him, guarantees us eternal life in His presence. By contrast, trying to follow what other's think is a risky path. The ideas and desires of others may be a part of a system which will not last and is not from God. Evil forces work very hard to distract us with desires that are temporary and draw us away from what God wills for us. God's will is permanent and doing His will has a promise of eternal life without any tears, sorrow, death or sickness. Let's seek for what God's will is and what will please Him and let's forget what the crowds around us might think.
