The grass is withering and the flowers are fading.
Autumn brings colder nights and shorter days along with fading flowers and grass that is slowly turning to straw. I no longer see my bright, blooming flowers as I look out my windows. I love spending each new morning drinking my coffee and watering my flowers as I watch them grow.
Each new fall day steals the day light away faster and faster. The season of fall is such a fading and withering time. Even the beautiful backdrop of changing leaves and their color last but a few days then fall.
This brisk morning I sip on my coffee and read Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withers and the flowers fade BUT the Word of God stands forever"
All flesh is like grass and all its loveliness is like a flower in the field. Life and the things of life will pass by. The things of this world will not last. But God word will stand forever.
Gods promises are secure, what He says, He will do. Thus we can put our trust in God's Word having confidence that it will always be there to guide our lives.
Financial security can bring uncertainty as we may see our investments and accounts withering.
Good health of loved ones or even ourselves, will ultimately fade away.
What we love most in this world at this moment will not last, no matter how good it might be. Yet God will always be there for us. His word will never let us down.
Have you recently experienced the withering or fading in life?
Are you tempted to put your confidence in things that will not last?
Have you ever trusted in God's Word?
May we personally be reminded and encouraged to put our trust in the bright, green grass of the Word. Ask God to teach you to put your confidence in the word. He will help you know His word and give you the desire learn His word. We must remember that the great things we may have now in this world will fade and wither away.
Thank you God that your Word will never fade.
Believe and Be Strong,
