110 for 3...?

Life at Disney World is full of waiting.

They have made it easier for people to decide if they want to wait in line for a ride or not.

At the beginning of every line is a sign that tells you approximately how long the wait will be.

Many times I saw this... "Wait Time - 110 minutes"

This gave me pause... "A one hour and fifty minute wait for a three minute ride?"

It just didn't make sense to me a lot of the time...

My iWitness...

The cost/benefit ratio comes into play at Disney World at almost every turn. Was the three minute ride worth the 110 minute wait? For some they would say, "Yes!" For others there would be a resounding, "NO!"

Let's think about this for a minute or maybe even for 110 minutes...

You wait 110 minutes for a 3 minute ride.

What if it was like that in real life? You wait 110 years on this earth for 3 years in heaven?
That just doesn't add up.

As always, God turns things upside down on its head.

In God's economy, just the opposite is true...

Wait 110 years on this earth for an eternal ride in heaven!! One hundred and ten years compared to eternity is just a blip on the radar. If your time on earth is shorter than 110 years... even better!!

Praise God that what we endure in this long line of life is but just a minor bump in the road in exchange for the ride of eternity in the Heavenly Kingdom.

"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For the light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."
(2 Corinthians 4. 16-18)


And that's my iWitness...
Laugh often and Fear not!
David!
