The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.

Psalms 10

The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land. v16

Believers are encouraged to focus on the eternal.  In this verse, David reminds us to do just this...in the context of earthly kingdoms, powerful nations, governments, etc., the message is the same - everything earthly will pass away but God will not and we will someday be in Heaven with Him and the only thing that matters is how we glorify and serve Him with our time on earth.  

See posts here and verses below.


Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. Matthew 6:19

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ....Philippians 3:20

My Prayer: Lord, You have saved a place for us in Heaven - thank You Jesus.  I am not sure how I feel about death but I am certain that I am thankful for how You beat sin and death for me and gave me both freedom from both.  Yet I don't live often with this freedom in mind, so please forgive me Jesus.  Help me turn from my sin and towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Help me love others as You love me.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give me strength.  Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo and radiation.  Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin...and serve You.  Please help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message today and every day.
