Inevitable Changes
All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
…Ecclesiastes 1:8
Basketball was once known as Duck on a Rock. This was played without a backboard, but eventually a backboard was placed to detour fans from interfering with the ball. Times change; sometimes too fast. We think we are the generation that invented basketball, or close to it, then we find out the game was called something completely different from what we know of it today.
Even the golf tees have changed. Now players can perch a tee on their lips and taste their favorite flavor. Yes folks flavored tees, any flavor you like. Now I have heard of flavored teas, but this was a new one for me. Golf clubs have been made of all sorts of material each redefining the game and what strategy was necessary.
We may come up with new ways of presenting an old idea, but it is just that, new and improved. We are never satisfied, and in some cases that’s alright. But, most always we are dissatisfied with material or beautiful items that begin to show the slightest wear, ready to trade it in for another. My husband might as well trade me in, ‘cause I am showing wear!!! Mileage has surpassed the limits allotted a human being. Come back to reality I tell myself. Life is that way. Some things we have no control over; no matter how much money one may have.
One thing does not change, and that being that death will come to all of us. Not a pleasant thought, but bearable knowing Jesus is in control of our life and death, and death, brings eternity with Him. You see, I believe Christ died on the Cross, was buried and rose again the third day, to save us from a lost eternity. I live in Him, and He in me. His death on the Cross is proof of His love for us. I trust Him fully to take me to a better place, than what I know of here.
Heaven waits for those who have asked Jesus to wash their sins away. Not with the best soap on the market, even that will change tomorrow. But with the precious shed blood of our Savior. His blood has never been polluted, watered down, or mislabeled. The price has always been the same; free. Tell Him thank you and accept His free gift of Eternal Salvation today. You can still reach God through prayer, asking forgiveness; that hasn’t changed. And you can be changed today. Trust Him, and see what happens.
