merely rusted metal

“By repenting of our hope
in the promises of this world –
the greatest of which
become merely rusted metal
and short-lived pleasures –
and trusting in God's promises,
we develop a new lifestyle
of growing obedience to God,
rather than following
the cadence of our culture.
And as our hope in God increases,
our obedience to his commands
becomes more consistent.”
- Scott Hafemann
