That Which Endures

 

“…the word of our God endures forever”

—Isaiah 40:8b

“Oh, well,” my uncle said as he watched the junk dealer haul away the Buick he had nursed through 27 winters. “Nothing lasts forever.”

More and more that’s how we look at life. We live in a throw-away culture. Nothing lasts forever.

But in God’s economy things are quite different. As the Prophet Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 40:6-8:

A voice says, “Cry out.”

And I said, “What shall I cry?”

“All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them.

“Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”

We need to place our trust in that which endures.
