An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Some Things Are Forever

Psalm 117:2 (KJV) For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

I memorized this chapter in Psalms when I was younger.  The main purpose involved a contest and this was the shortest chapter in the Bible.  Anyone else with me there?  Now, hopefully a bit more mature I see other values in it.  A great truth is offered.

The truth is about truth.  There are some things that last forever and one of them is the truth of the Lord.  This is a particular type of truth.  It might be a truth that never wears out but it is more than that.  This is a truth that never goes out of style.  A truth that never wears out could be like a pair of shoes that last forever but are in a color that is not considered cool today.  God’s truth is more like a white T-shirt that goes with all attire and all events.  It is always useful.

So?  Put your time into the eternal rather than the fashionable.  Read Moses instead of Plato.
