“Book of the week,” it says on the poster.

Whenever I pass the local book store I see the poster. I have done so several times lately without taking too much notice. But today I took notice. I have even noticed that the “Book of the week” is called “Art therapy.”

Reading the “Book of the week,” reminds me of “THE BOOK OF THE AGES”.

This is said about “THE BOOK OF THE AGES”:

THE BOOK OF THE AGES

a.  Psalm 119:89 “Your word, O LORD, is eternal, it stands fIrm in the heavens.”

b.  Isaiah 40:8 “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”

c.  Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”

d.  First Peter 1:25 “‘ … , but the word of the Lord stands forever.’ And this is the word that was preached to you.'”

The socalled book “Book of the week” is written by man and changes, but “THE BOOK OF THE AGES”  is written by God, the Holy Spirit and never changes.

That’s why The Bible, the Word of God, is called “THE BOOK OF THE AGES.”

We are dependent on the weather.

I noticed that again today when I was looking for the advertised event called “The Amazing Race,” on the old McDonald’s car park, Matthews Avenue, here in Kaitaia; but there was no activity whatsoever.

I had a fair idea why nobody was there.

Youth Week 2016 is celebrated at the present time here in our town, and “The Amazing Race” is for those who are 12-16 years of age. The advert says, “Stage Show, Spot prizes, Guest speakers, Sausage sizzle, Displays, activities and more …”

Walking along Commerce Street on my way home and looking into one of the shop windows I saw one of “The Amazing Race” posters, but diagonal across the poster was pasted:

“POSTPONED DUE TO SATURDAYS WEATHER FORECAST.”

We know that we are dependent on the weather, but do we also know that we are dependent on the Living God, who made heaven and earth?

God made heaven and earth

Only God is self-existent, we are dependent beings.

We cannot always depend on the weather forecast, but we can depend on the Living God.
