Years ago here in Sumter, an artist known as Blue Sky painted a masterpiece on the side of a downtown building. We all were thrilled with the beach scene that added color and beauty to our downtown area. He did a fantastic job with his work.
Lately, I've noticed it's beginning to fade. The colors are not as bright as they once were. And thin cracks are beginning to appear. My guess is this is due to exposure to the outside elements and the passing of time. It still looks good. But changes are gradually taking place.
The fading masterpiece reminds me that nothing of this world lasts forever. The beauty we see and treasures we enjoy are temporary. What is here today will be gone in the future.
But here's the good news: We have a God who is eternal. He has always existed, and forever will continue to do so.
We ought to be glad our God is eternal!
Because of this, we can rest assured He will always...
Be with us,
Watch over us,
Work in us,
And shine through us.
Our eternal God will forever pour out on us His grace, love, forgiveness, peace, joy, power, hope, and goodness. A thousand years from now He will be doing this. And a million years from now He will continue in all these wonderful ways!
Masterpieces of this world fade away eventually. That's just the way it goes. But our God is permanent and will always be the same. Because of that, you and I can rejoice!
