Think On These Things: Wisdom For Life From ProverbsSample

Everything is Transient

Nothing is permanent, except God and what He says. Everything else is temporary and subject to corruption. Even the sun isn’t permanent. This massive earth fits into the volume of the sun a million times, but in time the massively huge sun will burn out and turn to stardust.

But the word of the Lord will last forever (Isaiah 40:8), and the Bible says that all who trust in the Savior have everlasting life. They will be part of a kingdom of which “there will be no end” (Luke 1:33).

His promises are immutable. Trust them with all of your heart. He will never go back on what He says will take place. It shall stand. This is so very reassuring in a world where we are forever disappointed by other people’s promises, despite good intentions.

Soul Search: In what do I find my security? Do I cling to God for my very life?

Father, thank you that you keep every promise you make. Amen.
