Job 20:9 The eye that saw them will see them no more,
nor will their place behold them any longer.
One of the profound truths of the Bible is so simple and obvious yet it is truly profound. Nothing lasts forever. Wealth and power and privilege do not last. As the common phrase not found in the Bible puts it: "You can't take it with you." Life does not last. Health does not last. Nothing lasts forever. This passage from Job is actually talking about people who threaten or hate you. They don't last forever.
We serve a powerful and eternal God. Only God lasts. Only God's love lasts. God's love is stronger than hatred and jealousy and rivalry. God's love lasts and those things don't. God's love is stronger than any wealth or privilege. Those things will go away. God's love will not. What a privilege it is to worship and to serve an eternal and a loving God.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
