It dries up

The warmth of summer and autumn is over.  As I looked outside my window this morning, I thought (burrrr) ‘cold’ for no blue is visible in the sky.  Instead, the sky is  covered over with clouds and the leafless or near leafless tree branches sway in the wind; the grass is drying up and the flowers are dead.  I thought of Isaiah 40. 

Isaiah 40:6 all flesh is like grass and all the goodness thereof is like the flowers of the field.8 the grass withers and the flower fades but the Word of our GOD shall stand forever.

For you personally, what compiles the good things of life?  Some buy lottery tickets in hopes of winning lots of money… to them the good things are found in what they can get from $... others chase experiences … some through substances- some through emotions… still others chase relationships…  But like that verse says, each of those things wither and fade.

Our lives are like the grass... it sprouts and grows green, the more water it gets the healthier it is and here and there are flowers.  Flowers bring a touch of beauty and make us smile.  But  the grass withers and die; the things we find goodness in, the flowers of the field, also just last for a time and then are gone.  So where is meaning? 

Do you want to find meaning and joy and peace and good things that won't just wither and die?  Do you want something good that will last forever?  Then go to the Bible.  Let GOD speak to you through HIS word and what you find there will last forever.
