The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. -Isaiah 40:8

God bless you and happy Monday. When we moved into our current home a few years back the lawn was… well horrible. 

It was really more a patchwork of competing weeds; and riding roughshod, blocking the sun was this out of place tree. 

Our first year I cut down the tree and at the beginning of our second year we sodded the front yard and planted some flowers. 

That first year with the grass was touch and go. I tried to treat it until my wife grew weary of my lack of grass expertise and called a lawn company. 

The other day I looked as the dormancy set in and the grass began to turn yellow. Eventually it will be almost white. It reminded me of the scripture above. 

During its season I can for the most part count on a lush lawn, but when fall sets in almost immediately the grass begins to fail. 

 

Yes it will comeback when the weather becomes favorable again, but who needs yet another fair weather friend. The same is said about the flowers that do return but only when it likes what it sees, feels and or can use. 

The scripture above compares those things that fade, retreat and abandons us with the stability of the word of God. What God says is eternal and there is an applicable word to anything we face in life. 

You can always count on God’s word!
