1st Peter 1:24. “For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:” ALL FLESH. By nature, the life we see around us is temporary It germinates, grows and produces what its nature gives And then slowly, but surely, dies – Gradually disintegrating to its original source – It is not eternal.
By its nature grass is only for a year, Then another blade comes to take its place. Some trees last for generations But they too are dying a slow death – They are not eternal.
Animals, birds, fish all have a life-cycle Made by a wise Creator and maintained To fulfill a divine purpose But they too have only a short life – None of them are eternal.
Beauty and color are seen in gardens world-wide Flowers in forests, mountains – even deserts Bloom in glorious colors and scents that amaze us But they too are only temporary – they wither and die – Their beauty is not eternal.
“I am always amazed at Thy power and the beauty which has been place in Thy creation, Father God. Is it human sin that has brought such world-wide death? How terrible the consequences of human sin! Sometimes I even grieve. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
