It is
remarkable to me, as I ponder life.
There are common threads to our existence on the earth. In the ancient
and in the modern, certain themes seem to hold true through time. Human beings can build massive buildings,
exquisite homes and beautiful structures for numerous uses which can be geometrically
designed and perfected and ascetically purposed. Some stand throughout time and
are timeless and some stand out in time as skelatons and reminders of the
elusiveness of wealth, power and prestige without being used for anything except
to serve as a design or an architectural example for the following ages.
All
these buildings and homes represent the power, prestige and wealth of the
person or of the age and yet these same
structures seem to stand more importantly as examples of the futility of wealth
and position to secure anything permanent in their intended purpose and
fulfillment. From the military realm to
the political realm, to the countless other realms that occupy our daily living
… none are completely and timelessly worthy of
our trust in the deepest parts of our souls.
None of them stand for very long and cannot be completely trusted. It is only the Lord God and His ways that can
be trusted. So trust completely in Him.
“Now know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him
from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in
chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our
God. They are brought down and
fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright”
(Psalm 20:6-8 NIV).
