The Word warns us that this world will not last forever. “Heaven and earth will pass away,” ".Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” This means that trusting Jesus is wiser than trusting man. Man cannot offer us anything that lasts forever, most friendships do not last, relationships do not last, marriages do not last, cars do not last, jobs do not last, and status does not last. Nothing material that man has to offer will last, so why do we honor man more than we honor our Savior. Could it be that we only believe in what we can see and our faith in our Savior is weak; so we let our fears and doubt win out over our trust in Him. Think back to our lives has God ever let us down, He may not handle things when and how we want it, but He has always taken care of us.
Father, knowing that heaven and earth will pass away, please open our hearts and minds and fill us with the things of the Spirit that will last through eternity. Lord, we are looking forward to the new heaven and the new earth where the righteous will dwell. So help us not store up material things that have no value, where moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them.
Father, it is so easy to get caught up and enticed by the things of the world, so give us eyes that see You and ears that hear Your Word; so when temptation arises we will have an escape, through our teachings, and faith in You. Father, we are looking forward to sitting at Your feet, so remove all that is not of You and anything that hinders our blessing, in Jesus name, Amen
