Have you ever been enticed by those Internet “teaser-ads”, when they say such things like, “Look at this beautiful movie-star today! She’s still turning heads at 85!”
.
Well, sadly, most of us have “taken the bait”, and clicked on those teaser-ads.
.
And so, we go through page after page on these teaser-ads, just so we can finally see how that aging Hollywood star looks now.
.
But finally, after 12 or so pages of ads, at last we get to see how she looks today.
.
And… well… to put it mildly, she doesn’t look so good anymore.
.
The passing years have regretfully stolen away her beauty.

IT’S A THROW-AWAY WORLD!
.
Well, just go to the thrift shops and see the bins piled high with all our discards of toys, utensils, and almost new clothes, being sold by the pound.
.
Or look at the cars, that only just a few years ago, sold for a year’s wages, but now are sold for a week-or-two’s wages.
.
The garbage dumps are filled with mountains of debris, which just a short time ago were purchased at the mall.
.
Yes, it’s certainly a throw-away world!

THROW-AWAY STARS
.
Well, we’ll say it again! It’s a throw-away world!
.
Just ask that aging beauty queen, who just a few years back, was sought-after by every camera, but now hides away for fear that her wrinkles might get caught on camera, only to become an Internet joke! And fresh-faced young starlet has now replaced her!
.
Or just ask that recording artist who sang to adoring fans last year, but now has been passed by for that younger and fresher songster!
.
Yes, the new kids on the block have now become the old folks on the porch! And even the block itself is looking pretty shabby!
.
Yes, it’s definitely a throw-away world!

“SEE, THIS IS NEW!”
Ecclesiastes 1:10
.
“Is there any thing whereof it may be said, ‘See, this is new’?
it hath been already of old time,
which was before us.”
Ecclesiastes 1:10
.
The young and proud mock the old for their quirky ticks and funny old ways. But soon, those who once mocked others, are now the ones being mocked by a younger and newer generation!
.
And all the while, the old and infirm hide their hopeless tears, and constant aches and pains, behind weathered doors, away from the unsympathetic eyes of the on-the-go public.
.
And then…one day…an ambulance drives up, and after a few minutes, quietly leaves again.
.
And the world goes on, everyone driving newer and sleeker cars, not seeing nor caring that a generation has just passed away, with hardly a notice: hundreds of thousands each day…“One generation passes away, and another generation comes…” Ecclesiastes 1:1-3

” the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.”
James 5:11
.
But there is One who sees behind those weathered doors, and is touched by those silent cries, and those hopeless moans of pain and rejection and loneliness!
.
And that One has come from an everlasting Kingdom, in which nothing grows old! And He has presented Himself to this fickle and changeable world, showing us the everlasting ways of eternal life!
.
And He came to seek out those whom the world has discarded and calls them to leave this throw-away world!
.
And He beckons us to sojourn up the upward, Heavenward pathway which leads to that everlasting Kingdom: a Kingdom in which they will find never-ending peace and joy!
.
A land where every new day brings fresh-faced renewal of life!

WANTED: THROW-AWAY PEOPLE
.
Yes, it may be a throw-away world in which we now live. But there is a Redeemer who paid the price for all those thrown-away people who are tired of living in a throw-away world! And that same Redeemer wants to redeem both you and me!
.
And will we foolishly ignore His invitation?
.
Let’s come and walk that upward pathway which leads to eternal youth and everlasting joy!
.
Forget about this lose-lose dying old world!

“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you,
and learn of Me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold, Thou hast made my days as an hand-breadth; and mine age is as nothing before Thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah” Psalm 39:4, 5

FLOWER CONSTELLATION BOWS DOWN…
.
AUGUST 28TH, 2011
.
.
It has become apparent, on this date, that as summer draws to a close, this “Flower of the Field Constellation” appears to bend almost completely down. This occurs as it travels into the western skies. It somehow rotates in order to produce this effect. This is a very wonderful phenomenon…and biblical too! After all, the Bible says “the grass withers and the flower falls away”. And that’s exactly what this flower constellation seems to do. It almost seems to be bowing itself…in the direction of that bright and beautiful star, “Arcturus” (which represents Jesus). This would make sense. After all, Scripture states…
.
.
“…unto Me (the Lord), every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall swear…
Bel bows down, Nebo stoops…
They stoop, they bow down together…
Listen to Me… all you remnant of the house of Israel (God’s people)…
which are carried from the womb:
And even to your old age I am he…
even I will carry, and will deliver you.”
Isaiah 46:1-4 (condensed for brevity)
