Isa 26:5
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high;
the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground;
he bringeth
it even to the dust.
No
matter how well known or respected a person is in society, they are still
humans that were created by God for His purposes and they will give
account. Every celebrity faces death and
no matter how beautiful the flesh is, it will still decay and corrupt after the
life of the person departs. All
flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust (Job 34:15). The glory
and fame of man pale in comparison to the fame and glory of our God. Are we more star struck with those whose
faces appear on a screen than we are of our God who inhabits eternity? When we enter into worship do we realize that
the Lord is over all and we are privileged to know Him, talk with Him, be
provided by Him and that He is waiting for us to dwell with Him in person
forever? Let us not be so easily impressed with those who dwell on high. Let us not look at the homes on the hill with
some sort of inordinate reverence. If we
see someone we admire that is highly esteemed by man, let us not stop with a
glance of admiration but lift that person who will inevitably be dust to the
Lord seeking Him to touch their lives and soul.
Let us look up to the One who treats all men the same and is willing
that none should perish but all
should have everlasting life through faith in Christ.
