Passing Through

 

"Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth . . . You made [man] lord over the works of Your hands . . . animals in the wild, birds in the sky, and fish of the sea passing through the currents of the seas." (Psalm 8:1,6-8)

I snapped this photo yesterday. Can you tell what it is? Look closely and you'll see gazillions of fish in the shallow, golden waters of the sea — tiny creatures just passing through.

In this life, beloved, you and I are just passing through. "For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come (Hebrews 13:14)." A home with pearly gates, streets of gold, and Jesus forever and ever and ever.
