Isaiah 40:6b, 8 All flesh is grass, and all loyalty like the flower of the field... The grass withers, the flower wilts, but the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40:31 They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; they will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
These verses are reminders to the frailty of humans and life. We are like the grass, come the end of our time, we will wither like the meadows in winter. The things we have done and said will be gone. But God’s word will carry on. Like a grandfather telling stories to his grandchildren, God’s word will continue to live on in the hearts of his believers. It has been passed down for generations already. If we want to be so caught on making a difference for our children’s children in their future world, the best way to start is by living and passing on the word of God. If we want to keep his light burning, we must strengthen the fire.
In our current time when we become tired and weary, God will renew our strength. He is always with us, ready to help us back up. Those who wait for God for his strength will receive it. Of course, this doesn’t really mean sitting around, letting the world go on, waiting on God to fix it. This means taking up our place in the world and actively trying to make it better. God will multiply our gifts and actions as we seek him and rely on him.
Lord, I praise you for always being near. I will actively seek you until my days become like the winter grass, and I will be ready for you to take me home. Until then, I will spread your fire so future generations will always called you Father.
