September 1 – Standing, Not Fading

“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”” Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)

Today's promise comes from the writings of Isaiah, a prophet of God, as he contrasts the things of this world and the things of God. We enjoy the beauty of the natural world around us – the fields of wildflowers and forests of trees but we know that they are only for a season and will wither and fall. This is true of so much around us which is constantly changing. In contrast to the changing things in our lives we do know also of the things of God which do not change. Our verse reminds us that God's word is forever. What he has said will never fail.  Isaiah wrote these words many centuries ago and they are just as true today. God is the unchanging One. Let's trust what He has said, it will not fade away.
