baseball pitcher tug mc graw hand a wonder ful philosophy of pitching. He called it his "frozen snowball" theory. "if i come to pitch with bases loaded " the explained. " and hitter willie stargell s at bat thers no reason I want to throw the ball. but eventually i have to pitch. So i remind my self that in few billion years the earth will become a frozen snow ball hurtling through space, and nobody going to care what willie stargell did with the bases loaded!" the bible tells us the earth will someday "melt with fervent heat: both the earth and the works that are in itwill be burned up" (2 peter 3:10) yet mc graws point is valid: We need keep life in prespective. Most of the thing we worry about have no eternal significance.
The writer of Hebrews was concerned about our prespective. Throughout the book, he keeps our eyes focused on heaven and away from earth. unless our minds are on heaven we will have
little eternal influence on earth.
there will come a time when the earth will be shaken, and things once permanent will be gome (hebrews 12:27) What you fear most today will be forgotten like yesterday's head lines. what really matter is wahat you do todaythat has touch of eternity about it
