I have been so enjoying the flowers that I had wished for in January when it seemed like we were going to get a lot of rain. There are more flowers than I can remember ever seeing before! I have been walking all over the property finding new ones each time! As I do often, I had a look to see what God's Word says about flowers. It was interesting to see that they were mainly used to compare to the fleetness of a man's life in light of God, His Word and eternity. Check it out...

Psalms 103:15-17 - As for man, his days are like grass; when the wind has passed over it, it is no more; and it's place acknowledges it no longer. But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,...

Isaiah 40:6b-8 - All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.

Surely the flower's beauty is fleeting, like our own lives on this earth in light of eternity. But is that it?

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Blessings!
