Daily Java: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (Matthew 24:35)
It is easy to see all of this around us as being permanent, but it will one day be gone.
The earth seems so permanent, so strong, so eternal. But it isn’t.
It is dying. Not because of global warming, or global cooling, or any of those other foolish inventions of humanity, but because it was never designed to last forever. It was designed to last as long as God wanted and then it would be destroyed.
It is dying. But is that so hard to believe? That the world can die?
Think about yourself. After all, your hair is grayer and there is less of it, you are older and weaker, even though you used to be strong. You are much more out of shape when you were younger, even last year.
Your house is having wear and tear, your favorite chair is wearing out and so is your car. Your favorite shirt is fading. Even your computer is out of date.
Everything Is wearing out. That is because nothing you own was designed to last forever.
The only thing that will last is the word of God. His truth alone is eternal, his ways alone are true, his will alone will prevail.
God can be truly objective. And the best thing about it is that we know he loves us.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
