They shall perish, but You will endure

“They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.” - Psalms 102v26-27

“Nothing lasts forever” is a saying we hear quite often. We say that, but there appear to be a lot of things that do “last forever.” We see the sun, moon, and stars. We see mountains, oceans, rivers, and valleys and we say, “These things will always be there.” This is why some peoples have worshipped these very things.

Today we see the same stars that Job saw. The same sun that God created in the creation week shines on us today. Yet, one day all of these things will pass away. They will “wax old like a garment.” God will change them like we change our clothes.

In all of that eventual change God will endure forever. He will not change. He will endure, He will be the same, and He will have no end.

There is only one place to put our confidence. The Lord alone will not change or pass away. He was there before anything else and He will be there when in it all changed. Praise God that He loved us enough to give us the opportunity to put our faith in Him, the Unchanging One.
