Today’s Thought “Let’s Twist Again, Like We Did It Last Summer!” G. Ward

 

Matthew 24: ³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

 

There continues to be great philosophical statements that many hang their hats on, but that hook will soon loosen and allow the hat to fall and whereas the catchy phrase can last for a significant period, even that to which our grandchildren may echo, its application is marginalized by cultural trends ever-evolving.

Our Lord Jesus’ authority (cf. Matt.28:18) however, transcends generational appeals from man, even granting perfect directives in earth and leads to eternal life with HIM. We, as followers, along with being made new (for HIS purpose), are called HIS special possession to embody total allegiance to HIS commands and character; with a daily demand to investigate, that to where all HE is saying and did (*2 Ti.3:16-17), so as to follow demonstrably. For, there’s no need for HIS words to change; they’re absolute and forever.

 

And Lord God, we honor You, significantly more than anyone, or anything and it derives from witnessing such sacrifice given on our behalf; causing more determination to bless Your Name at all times. We’re thankful for another day’s journey in You – where following Your commands are no longer burdensome, yet we’re at war with the flesh (insisting on our persuasiveness), while desirous to see others comply in knowing You in a personal, dependent way; to forget they can’t come to You unless You draw them. So, may our probe of all You say, increase, that we may trust You more, through Jesus, Amen.
