If I provide for this life and turn away from the Lord, I am wise for a moment, but lost forever.

About This Quote

If I provide for this life and turn away from the Lord, I am wise for a moment, but lost forever. This quote is a beautiful summary of the truth in the Bible. It shows us that it is in our best interest to heed the teachings of the Lord. When we do this, we are wise for a moment because we can see what blessings come our way.

However, when we turn away from the Lord, He turns away from us. We are then lost forever because when we lose God, He loses us.
