What things do you hold on to in this world? What things do you find the most valuable? What things do you hold closest to your heart? Is it your new car, stereo, your friends, or even your dog? The Bible teaches us that our flesh and heart will fail, but God will give us strength forever. We must hold close to God if we desire that he will hold close to us. As you brag to your friends about your new system, think about this...do you also brag about the God that loves you so much? Hold close to Him, and he will not abandon you, only he will not pass away.
