The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isa 40:8

God, in his infinite wisdom, has surrounded us with reminders that time continues to progress. Sunrise turns into sunset, the new moon becomes full, the apple tree blossoms, bears fruit and drops its leaves, one generation of man greets the next and says goodbye to the previous.

In the equation of life the one constant is God’s word. It stands as our unchanging guide and inspiration as we grow ever closer to our day of judgement. In it dwells the understanding of God’s will for each of us combined with the encouragement to seek and accomplish that divine calling. In a world of doubt, heartache and uncertainty we can cling daily to that compass that always points back to the Creator and forward to endless life and happiness.

Let us resolve to allow the Lord to enter our hearts and minds each morning with that word which “shall stand forever.”

Your servant Dan
