No matter how old you are, you’ve probably experienced a good bit of change. Leadership, lifestyle, law, and the latest thing seem to shift with the tides. Surely it affects our choices. Who can we trust? What should we invest in? Where do we stand? Perhaps our convictions become half-hearted as the skepticism creeps in. After all, what sounds good this year is often retracted next year.
Thank God for the kingdom He built and all the reasons we can put our complete faith in it!
- The church cannot be overtaken or destroyed (Dan. 2:44).
- The leadership hasn’t changed (Col. 1:18).
- The foundation is sure (1 Cor. 3:11).
- The church was planned by God (Eph. 3:8-11).
What a contrast to the fickle, transient empires of man! The Lord’s church was in the mind of God from the beginning and built by Christ on the foundation of Christ. We can invest our whole heart into the church because the church will last forever.
I can’t help but think that people all around us are craving that kind of surety and security. Let’s show them our confidence in Christ! Let’s tell them about the kingdom that invites them in as beloved citizens (Eph. 2:19).
“My kingdom is not of this world…”
(John 8:36)
