Believe it or not! Some things do last forever.
New automobiles depreciate the day you drive them off the dealer’s lot. Technology seems to become obsolete before the credit card bill is processed. Physical fitness seems to be a losing battle. Appliances need to be replaced.
Is there anything that won’t wear out?
YES, there is something that will last for eternity!
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Matthew 24:35 ESV)
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8 ESV)
When we fill our thoughts and minds with scripture, we are filling them with values that will last through eternity. Maybe we should invest more of ourselves in the eternal and invest less of ourselves in the temporal.
