Trust in Something Lasting
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever." Psalm 45:6
The Bible speaks about eternity and encourages us to think about things that are eternal (Colossians 3:2 NLT). More than that, God has created us to possess eternity at the very centre of our being. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us "He has also set eternity in the hearts of men" .
Although eternity exists, because it is unseen, somehow it does not seem for real. Instead, what we see and experience each day is life in a real world. We live in and with reality; juggling commitments, dealing with pain, enjoying ourselves, striving to live a good and meaningful life. Sometimes our striving seems in vain and we question it. We are told in the book of Corinthians that this reality is temporary and will not last (2 Corinthians 4:18). This life is not designed to bring us satisfaction. (2 Corinthians 4:16)
However, those elements of life that are unseen, that are eternal, are just as real and are designed, by God, to give us satisfaction and REAL life. Why? Because, God has set "eternity" in our hearts.
God with his eternal throne offers us everlasting love. (Jeremiah 31:3 MSG) says "GOD told them, "I've never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!"
God offers us everlasting life through Jesus Christ, His son. Jesus says in John 6:47 "I assure you, anyone who believes in me already has eternal life."(MSG)
God offers us everlasting comfort and safety in His everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27
Isn't it better to trust in something lasting?
