A mighty fortress is our God

From a classic hymn by Martin Luther:

The Word they still shall let remain
Nor any thanks have for it;
He's by our side upon the plain
With His good gifts and Spirit.
And take they our life,
Goods, fame, child and wife,
Let these all be gone,
They yet have nothing won;
The Kingdom our remaineth.

I think this a classic line of a Job-like commitment to the Lord. Everything that is good in this life could be taken away, yet the Kingdom of God still remains! Everything in this life eventually could (and will) turn to dust, yet the Kingdom of God is eternal! It brings me hope in spite of any every turn life takes, in spite of every bit of adversity that comes in to my life, I can always cling to the hope of The Word of God and his Kingdom which will remain for all time and eternity. Thank God for that!
