Eternal or Ephemeral?

Read:  Psalm 100 / Proverbs 24 / Job 1 /Revelation 18

 

Psalm 100:4,5 ~ Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Proverbs 24:27 ~ Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

Job 1:20-21 ~ Then Job arose... and worshipped, and said... the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

Revelation 18:17 ~ In one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off. 

 

Eternal or ephemeral?

Consider well this timely measure.

How fleeting is the temporal! 

How precious is eternal treasure! 

 

Prepare, therefore, to build today

Upon eternity's foundation,

And not on things that pass away,

Unmindful of the Lord's salvation.
