Isaiah 51:6-7. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
What a mercy it is to get a hold of something that will never wear out, and that can never be dissolved, - something against which the tooth of time may fret itself in vain! This abiding, indestructible thing is the eternal salvation - the everlasting righteousness - which the Lord Jesus has wrought out and brought in for his people. Happy people who have this treasure for their eternal heritage!
