New strings! Everlasting?

Well it's the first night away from home and after a long long day I decided to put on my new elixir great tone long life nanoweb with anti rust coating acoustic strings.... Ha anyways it took awhile so I had music playing in the background and started thinking about how we always want the newest and best things, and just how sometimes we all can just be so blind to the fact that nothing in this world will ever last or make you happy forever. In the bible, Isaiah 40:28-31 "do you not know have you not heard? The lord is the everlasting god, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tierd or weary, and increases the power of the weak. Even youth grows tierd and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the lord will Renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
My favorite part is verse 28, the Lord IS The EVERLASTING God.
I'm sure from time to time we all find ourselves living for earthly treasures, but I want to encourage you to seek what will truly be everlasting!

Amazing what some guitar strings will make you think of :-)

Love, Just in

  2. So true!
    It's hard sometimes when we live in a culture that encourages us to consume everything we can. Nothing lasts...except HIM!
