The Word of the Lord Endures

For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you. — 1 Peter 1:24-25 

This portion of the  passage in quotes is from the book of Isaiah.

We are like flowers whose beauty fades.

We fall and stumble.

But God's Word lasts forever.

Isaiah wrote it and it's repeated again in the New Testament just to help remind us.

So we never forget God's promise that His Word endures.

Even when all else fades and withers.

Glory Like the Flowers

For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you. — 1 Peter 1:24-25 

We are just like grass — our beauty eventually fades.

Our glory is like the flowers, which fall from their stems as they grow old.

The grass withers and the flowers fall.

But the God's Word endures forever.

And this is the Word that has been preached to us.

Not to store up for ourselves treasures on earth,

Since they wither and fade away.

But God's Word lasts forever.

The Word of the Lord Endures Forever

For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” — 1 Peter 1:24-25

As people, we wither and fade like grass.

Our glory starts to fade, just like flowers.

Here are some Plumeria from our friends Mary and Gary.

Even though our lives are temporal,

God and His Son Jesus are forever.

God's Word endures long after we're gone.

It continues forever.

God is eternal - outside of time as we know it.

It's hard to comprehend, but the bottom line is that He cares for us.

And God's love endures forever, just as His Word does.

God's Word Endures

“All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” — 1 Peter 1:24

God's Word endures forever.

These beautiful flowers from our neighbors Lazlo and Andrea will not last.

God created them and He created us.

Our glory is like the flowers — it will wither eventually and the flowers will wilt.

But I can count on God's Word to keep me going and give me wisdom to know how to respond.

I am grateful.
