Eternal Words

  

"Heaven and earth 

will pass away, 

but my words 

will never pass away." 

(Luke 21:33)

Jesus reminds us to focus on spiritual truths rather than temporary, worldly concerns. This perspective can help us prioritize what truly matters. Unlike the transient nature of the physical world, God's words are eternal. This emphasizes the lasting truth and reliability of His teachings.

The assurance that God's words will never pass away reinforces our trust in His promises. It encourages us to hold on to His teachings, especially during challenging times. Let us build our lives on the solid foundation of God's word, which remains constant and unchanging.

Reflecting on this verse can inspire us to deepen our faith and trust in the enduring power of God's word. 

Heaven and earth may fade away, 

But Your words, O Lord, forever stay. 

In the midst of change, they stand so true, 

A guiding light, forever new.

When all around seems to decay, 

Your promises, Lord, will never sway. 

Through every storm and darkest night, 

Your words remain our beacon bright.

Foundations crumble, kingdoms fall, 

Yet Your truth outlasts them all. 

In every heart, Your love endures, 

A testament that always cures.

So let the world around us shift, 

In Your word, our spirits lift. 

For heaven and earth will pass away, 

But Your words, O Lord, will always stay.

Lord Jesus, In a world that is ever-changing, We find solace in Your eternal words. Heaven and earth may pass away, But Your promises remain steadfast and true.

Grant us the wisdom to hold onto Your teachings, to build our lives on the foundation of Your truth. In times of uncertainty and doubt, May Your words be our guiding light.

Help us to trust in Your everlasting love, to find peace in Your unchanging grace. Lord, let Your words dwell richly in our hearts, strengthening our faith and guiding our steps.

Amen.
