Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers and the flowers fall but the word of our God stands forever."
Our residence on Earth is temporary, like nothing compared to what we have in store in the kingdom of God. What is to come is like paradise, worth more than anything on this Earth, and can't compare to the happiness that it can bring to us as we are with the Lord than anything on this Earth. We are truly like grass: it grows, it thrives, and then it withers. What we have to accompany our time here is the word of God, the Scriptures, the Truth that guides our every step.
Isaiah 40:11
He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.
My God is my shepherd. He leads me to green pastures... to good things in life. He cares about me and loves me even though there is so much wrong in me. He protects me from the devil, but even if I do succumb to the devil, the Lord brings me back to Him.
The reminder: The word of God is a foundation that supports me. God is my shepherd. He will always be running after me no matter how far I end up being from Him.
