Bible Verse of The Day – 10-22-24

1 Peter 1:24-25 (NKJV) 24 because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, 25 But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

Nothing stays the same or lasts forever.

It’s important that we acknowledge this and put our faith not in material things, people or places, but in the Lord Himself, Who endures forever.

We can spend our life trying to make a living, planning for the future, and having all sorts of ideas about what we are going to achieve in this life.

But at night, when we lay our head on that pillow, we still don’t know what tomorrow will bring.

Life is so unsure.

It’s not that we shouldn’t act responsibly every day and do what we know is right to do.

But we must know and understand that it is not meant for us to find our stability in those things.

That job can go away just as quick as it came. The money we have in our accounts, and worked so hard at for so long to save, can’t keep us from having life-threatening health issues.

The plans that we have made for our future may not ever come to pass for us. And then what?

It’s not wrong to have a plan or be responsible. But, if it is without God in the picture, without our Lord and Savior being head of it all, we really are in trouble.

It’s a very scary thing if we do not know the Lord, or if we choose not to put Him first in everything.

He came and gave everything to see us through this life, and to give us eternal life with Him after we pass from this world.

God’s word says we are destroyed, by what? By a lack of knowledge.

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…

You see, it’s up to us to get the knowledge and understanding we need to know Him. And to be secure in Him, not the things of this world.

One day everything will wither away from us, but He will endure forever!

This is why our hope must be found in Him.

Amen.
