Things come and go. A year or so ago, I considered joining a gym near my house. I decided not to because it was pretty expensive (and I’m lazy). Now I’m glad I didn’t. Driving past today, I saw this sign on the sign of the building:

Things come and go. I saw this sign less than an hour after leaving the Home Ed graduation, another reminder of the constancy of change in this life.

I couldn’t help but think of Isaiah 40:8,

“The grass withers, the flower fades, [gymns close, and friends graduate,] but the word of our God will stand forever.“

Need some certainty in life? Want something you can depend on, that you know will last? Turn to God’s word and find an immovable rock, unshaken by tragedy, unsplit by the pressures of life, uneroded by the wearing effects of sin. Circumstances change, feelings are fickle, peers aren’t always dependable, but God’s word stands forever.

Some things come and don’t go.
