Temporary vs. Timeless

Read:  Psalm 25 / Proverbs 25 / 1 Kings 7 / John 17

 

Psalm 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

Proverbs 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

1 Kings 6:38; 7:1 The house [of the Lord] ... was he seven years in building it.  But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

John 17:15,16 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

 

The meek shall hear the Savior’s voice

And live to serve the King of kings. 

The proud shall soon regret their choice

To live for temporary things. 

 

The years that Solomon devoted

To build the house of God were seven,

But thirteen for his own were noted;

Beware!  Our timeless home is heaven.
