16 Mar 2015; Isa 17
What comes in strength and in might, comes and go.
The former glory become no more.
What then is it left that is then consider worthy? We seek the pleasures and the treasures of the world.
Damascus was the capital city of ancient Aramean kingdom, rival and ally of Israel until conquered by the Assyrians.
In that day man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel.
(Isaiah 17:7 ESV)
Nothing seems to last, pleasures, treasures, rival or friend, but only the Lord is the everlasting Lord.
Seek then the maker of you, the Lord God and seek then what is it that you are make for.
For me it is not the treasures nor the pleasures, but the treasures and pleasures that my children may know about God. I have only friend in God and not rival.
