More Thoughts on the Bridge Collapse

Al Mohler has also posted on the bridge collapse. This post is well worth your time.

Surely, history will teach us all at some point that we know not the time nor the reason we will step into eternity. All that seems so real, so sure, so constant is completely dependent upon the sovereign God's sustaining hand. From the bridge that collapsed to the money and reputations that we often foolishly build our entire lives upon, the things of this world are temporary and passing. Our very lives have been given to us, and, because they were a gift in the first place, can be rightfully taken from us at any time. Oh, that we would learn to build our lives on that which will never be shaken, on that which will never collapse. Such a life will be preserved through all the calamities of this life and even through the dark waters of death.

On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.
