Are You Chasing Bubbles?
Bubbles. They grab the attention of kids of all ages. My grands enjoy chasing after them. But here is what we know for a fact...no matter how big or how beautiful, they won't last!
And so it is in life. Many of the things we long for and chase after are only here for the moment...fun, toys, bigger and better homes, happiness. One day it will be gone...like the bubbles. And chances are that our bubbles will burst when we are least expecting it...and we will be left 'with nothing'.
Are you chasing the bubbles that are floating by...or are you fixing your eyes on Jesus?
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,
since
what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians
4:18 NIV
Great analogy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy .. yes .. bubbles of happiness will all burst .. the joy of the Lord bubbles forever!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding us again that we need to invest on things of eternity. The chaff blown away by the wind is so fleeting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Love this post!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great visual to remind us to watch what kind of dreams we chase.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a good lesson on how fleeting our days really are. Life is short and fragile.
