Permanent

Why do they call what someone does to their hair to make it curly a permanent. Is it permanent? No, it is temporary. They have to go back again to have another permanent to make it curly again.

Some things permanent are not really permanent. Is life permanent? Not really. Today I saw two men who are soon to die. One is dying today and the other probably within this year. They were once thriving, now they are dying. They have children and grandchildren. They both have worked hard. They are not permanent. Or, are they?

Both know Jesus. Or, at least both claim faith. So, that makes them permanent? No, actually they are permanent just going in the right direction. There are others who are permanent going in the wrong direction.

It is not the way that seems right to a man that makes things permanent. It is God.
