Forever

I was thinking about the first part of our memory verse for this week from Eccl 3:14 where it says "I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it."

Everything God does will endure forever. That is comforting and encouraging and hope giving. I know what I do doesn't endure forever -- sometimes not even for five minutes. But what God does endures (carries on, continues, lasts) forever. On top of that it cannot be improved -- nothing can be added or taken away -- it is perfect, or as God said after creation, it is good.

This reminds me of something else that endures forever ... God's love. Remember Psalm 136? "His love endures forever."
