Expired.

From Pastor John's wife, Kay Fuller:

In continuation of the January "clean-out" of sorting and pitching, I have been struck by the stream of expired goods which I encounter. From the crackers in the cupboard to the salad dressing in the refrigerator to the Tylenol in the medicine cabinet, to the 1990's turtleneck in the closet, the expired and out of date pile mounts - April 2011, August 2009, October 2010...all no longer useful and potentially even toxic.

This may be part of the reason the scriptures encourage us to lay up treasures in heaven where rust cannot destroy and to set our minds on things above. While the things of this earth pass away...sometimes within a week, sometimes within a year - we can rejoice that God is everlasting. 

Exodus 3:14 proclaims, "God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM'. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you."                   

God has always been and always will be. 

He will never, never leave us, and He will never become obsolete.
