Temporary much!

If you guys where in Hamilton or anywhere in the GTA the last two summers you can defiantly relate, also Minnesota seems to have the same type of weather so yall can relate too!  The house I lived in the summer before, to make things worse, didn't even have an AC! One of the days I and my housemates happened to stay indoors to avoid the heat, but it turns out that our house has changed into a walking sauna bath.  Luckily, one of my housemates had stocked our freezer with freezes. On summer days like those it’s almost impossible to do without them. The pile that looked like a supply for 10,000 years finished in no time. That was because the satisfaction of one freeze was only temporary; you would need a second one right after you finish the first one. Aren't things of this world as temporary as the freezes or the relief they gave?

If we look at scripture, John 4:3-26, Jesus describes how temporary this world is. He went to a town in Samaria near a plot of land Jacob had given his son and now where all his descendants live. Around noon Jesus approached a well of water and sees a Samaritan lady near the well. He asked her if she could give Him some water to drink. She angled off to what seems like a different topic and mentioned how He is a Jew and she, a Samaritan (at that time Jews and Samaritans didn't cross each other’s path let alone to ask for a hand in anything).  But, what this lady didn't know is He who asked her for mere earthly water is the Fountain of life,   Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” John 4:10. Jesus was gracious enough to take His time to explain to her the difference between the water He asked for and the one He can give. In John 4:13-14 He says,”13 Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Note:

·         The point is, we can’t boast because we have things of this world, one day it’s there the next its not! Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:31
