Proverbs - Grass Shows and Withers


Proverbs 27:25

The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself,
and herbs of the mountains are gathered.


There are some beautiful hills by my house that turn so green in the spring they almost seem to be alive with color.  The cows graze on them and the brilliant green is practically hard to look at.  As time goes on the summer sun comes and the green turns to a dull brown awaiting fire danger signs and decay.  No matter how beautiful things can be in this life, all flesh is as grass and the glory of man is as the flower of the grass.  Things are fleeting and our joy and purposes must not be in the temporal.  We should invest in that which remains – the seed of the Word of God and our relationship with Him.  Sisters, let us pursue that which abides and stays alive.  Let us rid our days of temporal pursuits that amount to little and fill them with that which remains.
