Strength Gets Tired and Beauty Fades!

“For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.” Psalm 37:2

Our observation of things can be deceiving.  What appears to us as strength and beauty, other than GOD will destroy our lives and bankrupt our souls.  The temporary things we are obsessed  with lie to the hearts of those that trust there deceitfulness.  Strength gets tired and beauty fades! “For they shall soon be cut down like the grass”.

The once beautiful bouquet of flowers that brought such satisfaction has become ugly to the eye in its withered condition and all you are left with are memories of its once glorious state. “wither as the green herb.”

The lustful heart is captivated by the riches of another.  I have seen those so occupied in the desire of wealth that they are miserable when they are not able to accomplish it.  It is their obsession and it will destroy them and those around them.  Happy is the one that finds their wealth in CHRIST!  A wealth that never fades or tarnishes!

They looked so great, what has happened?

Their beauty has lost all its appeal.

Once the desire of many that were watching.

Now their impression is so surreal.

Don’t be deceived by what appeals to your fancy.

And don’t be disheartened by what others possess.

All these things will change in their appearance.

What once was beautiful, turns to a mess.

JESUS never changes!

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