While the Earth Remains...



Genesis 8:22
"While the earth remains,
  Seedtime and harvest,
  And cold and heat,
  And summer and winter,
  And day and night
  Shall not cease."

Noah has just made the first post-flood offering and the Lord found it to be a “soothing aroma.” He promises never again to destroy “every living thing” and then states these words of promise of the permanence of the seasons and daily rotation of the earth within His creation. But what is also quite plain is that the earth will not last forever. All is within God’s divine providence. This life is about God not you, not me.
