Gravity is so commonplace that we take it for granted. We allow for it every moment of every day.

Every object within earth’s gravitational field will — without a doubt — find its ultimate resting place on the earth’s surface. It is the law of gravity.

If you are falling, you don’t truly understand it until you hit the ground. Depending on how you are prepared, the ground-meeting may be welcome (parachute) or desperate (no parachute).

As the clock struck 10:30 this morning, I realized that time bears a stunning resemblance to gravity.

Time doesn’t just “pass.” Time draws all of creation — without fail — to a final place. It is the law of God, and time’s ultimate destination is God Himself. It is a gravity of moments, and we are all falling through it.

We won’t fully understand this until it ultimately brings us face to face with God. Depending on how you are prepared, the God-meeting may be welcome (parachute) or desperate (no parachute).

Since I started this, I am several minutes closer to meeting God face to face. So are you.
