    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021
     | 3,255 views

    If the Bible is right, there are very few things that are eternal. Your career accomplishments aren’t eternal. Your wealth isn’t eternal. Your marriage isn’t even eternal. Your patriotism isn’t eternal. At least one thing lasts for eternity, worship. Worship alone endures.

     | 6,022 views

    The amazing thing is that the more we eat the Bread of Life, the hungrier for him we become. Once we have started to experience Jesus’s grace and goodness, we actually want more of him! Your appetite for Christ won’t decrease the more you get to know him, but increase.

    Say you’ve recently met someone new. Another worker was hired on, or you started at a new school, or you got a new client for your business. You get to know a person in a few ways.

    To our cry, “How long O Lord?” comes the message of Obadiah, that God is in control and that He is working out His will and purpose through it all, or what He says through Obadiah at the very end of this letter, “The kingdom shall be the Lord's.” (Obadiah 1:21)
