Isaiah 40:8

Flowers fade but the word of God endures forever. - Isaiah 40:8

How an old journey and a brief meal can help us reshape ourselves... and our world. Ann Voskamp looks at our ravaged world this summer and uses the image of a ravaged countryside to help us remember the power of sharing scars with the one who bears our sin in his scars.

We're not built to resist the passage of time, any more than the grass and flowers in a meadow are. Patrick Odum reminds us that everything changes, but what matters and what lasts is tied to our Father in Heaven.

Just how long is forever? When people talk about forever, it doesn't mean an eternity. But when God talks about forever, it means time without end.
