You know there’s this wild thing called eternity. It’s a beautifully frightening thing. Eternity incorporates everything the human life has to offer. Happiness. Sadness. Anger. Laughter. Love. All of these run through this idea everyone is drunk off of. The word eternal or eternity gets thrown around like an old rag doll by people who don’t have the capability to understand what it actually is. However, eternity is easiest understood through The Lord. Whatever challenges we encounter or when circumstances are uncertain, especially as college students, we can rest easy knowing we’ve always got someone watching over us to help us down the right path. So here are five of the best pieces of scripture I look to when I need a reminder that my second semester classes aren’t going to kill me, and that I have an eternal supporter.
1. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3:23
2. “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:9
3. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” Ecclesiastes 9:10
4. “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.” Psalms 143:10
5. “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34
