| Remember to keep your priorities right because the world is passing away and even though you may be young and have your whole life ahead of you, the time will pass quickly as it has for everyone else and then it is only what you have done in the will of God that will cause you to live forever. |

| It helps for the young believer in Christ to remember that the things of this world are only temporary and are passing away. One day all the things that seem so important to us now will not be here any longer and how insignificant they will be then. |
| A famous statement was made years ago that is worth remembering: �Only one life �twill soon be past, Only what�s done for Christ will last.� No matter how much difficulty you face, keep it in perspective and remember that down the road it will be worth it all to have trusted Christ and to have given up earthly pleasures for eternal rewards. |
| A missionary named Jim Elliot was killed by the Acuas Indians in South America in the 1950�s. He one time made the statement, �He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.� Don�t be a fool and keep your priorities right. |
| Moses made a decision to endure affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. God used him to transform the world of his day. |
| Aim For Eternal Priorities |
| Amazingly when we give up pleasures of this world in order to have eternal reward, God often gives greater pleasure in this life than you would have found in the world. |
