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.
This past year I have had some deaths in my family. My nephew, and my sister in law. They both are in Heaven and I am grateful for this. But it still makes you see some things very differently when death hits close to home.
It makes you think…” What about those that never hear the words of Christ and His message of salvation? What if they never heard about the Lord that endures forever?
My heart trembles. I am so sorry for those that never get a chance to understand what Christ has done for all of us.
I was blessed to be in a home where Mom and Dad found life and Salvation in Christ. And they introduced it to us at such a young age. Now, we were not a perfect family by any means. We had our trials along with our good times. Life was not easy all the time.
There was hurt, pain and sorrow we had to deal with. But it was faith and the words of God that got us through. And it kept us together.
Flesh will wither and the glory will fall away. But the Word of the Lord endures forever. It sticks!
Who or what are we holding onto today, and why?
God is our Rock! His Son, Jesus Christ, is our salvation. And the Holy Spirit is our Helper. What else do we really need in this life?
Our hearts cry out for those today who have not found Christ. They have not heard of the Gospel or have rejected it. Or maybe they did hear it, have received it and then have backslid and turned from it completely.
Together, may we reach them with His love.
Psalm 57:2 (NKJV) 2 I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.
Dear God in Heaven,
Bring us to those that need to hear your enduring Word. That they may receive the salvation that You freely give.
Oh, our hearts cry out for them today. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
