As a new year dawns, we should remind ourselves that for God’s people, the glory days lie ahead, not behind. Whether it’s the remnant of returned exiles looking back to Solomon’s temple, or the retro Reformed gazing endlessly at the Puritans, or conservative Boomers daydreaming nostalgically about the 1950s, Christians need not be caught singing “Glory Days” as if our best times lie in the past. Whatever glory we’ve seen, whatever tastes of grace we’ve had, whatever sentimental feelings we have about some bygone era, whether last year or decades ago, it is not worth our ceaseless attention, or grumbling about how things aren’t now what they used to be. For the Christian, the best is always yet to come.
