Believe it or not!  Some things do last forever.

New automobiles depreciate the day you drive them off the dealer’s lot.  Technology seems to become obsolete before the credit card bill is processed.  Physical fitness seems to be a losing battle.  Appliances need to be replaced.

Is there anything that won’t wear out?

YES, there is something that will last for eternity!

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Matthew 24:35 ESV)

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8 ESV)

When we fill our thoughts and minds with scripture, we are filling them with values that will last through eternity.  Maybe we should invest more of ourselves in the eternal and invest less of ourselves in the temporal.

The Formula for Success.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.  Joshua 1:8

Meditate on scripture + Do what the Bible teaches = Good success

³⁴ But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. ³⁵ And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. ³⁶ “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” ³⁷ And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ³⁸ This is the great and first commandment.³⁹ And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ⁴⁰ On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”  Matthew 22 (ESV)

Loving God with every fiber of your being and loving your neighbor as yourself would be an awesome goal for everyone to shoot for.

Jesus said, “…. for apart from me you can do nothing.”

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5 ESV)

“…. apart from me you can do NOTHING.”   Do you really believe that?

Matthew 7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

How much would your life change if you began practicing all of the Biblical truths you already know?  (Example: A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.  Proverbs 15:1)
