What Lasts?
This is God’s Word for my life in this place and at this time This is God’s Word for my life in this place and at this time. Today I am a new creation in Christ, I am God’s very own and I believe he has a purpose for my life.
On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine—the best of meats and the finest of wines.
On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The Lord has spoken. In that day they will say,
“Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” Isaiah 25:6-9
