Abraham Lincoln told the story of an Eastern monarch who commanded his wise men to create a sentence. This sentence would be cut in stone and always be in view. It must be true. It must apply in every situation and at all times. The wise men met and returned to the monarch with their sentence: "This, too, shall pass away."
This five-word statement does fit every situation. In moments of glory and triumph, it levels our sights. In our deepest grief, it lifts our vision.
We may face the most difficult situation of our lifetime now. May be a broken relationship, may be a job loss, or whatever may it be. If we trust God, all the problems will pass away. Let us keep this in mind all the time.
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." (Matt. 24:35)
