ponder the earth under your feet.
The skies will fade out like smoke,
the earth will wear out like work pants,
and the people will die off like flies.
But my salvation will last forever,
my setting-things-right will never be obsolete.
~ Isaiah 51:6 (MSG)
Jesus said: The sky and the earth won’t last forever, but my words will. ~ Luke 21:33 (CEV)
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Invest in what lasts.PRAYER
God, you have given me so much for which I am grateful. Even though many of the gifts are temporal in nature your generosity is unending -- like your salvation and your message to us. I confess that I get overly attached to the temporary aspects of life and don't emphasize enough that which is unending. Continue to school me in how to invest my life in what lasts. I'm going to go after the things which matter most to you. Amen.
