Everything on earth is temporary, even our very lives. James 4:14 says, " Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." And so, Matthew 6:20 suggests, " But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."
With all the horrible things happening in the world, I am still hopeful. Good will triumph over evil.
