“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.” - Isaiah 40v8
A lot of things have come and gone since I entered this world in 1955. Political rulers have risen to power and fallen. Some nations have passed from the scene new nations have appeared. Sports dynasties have risen and collapsed. The race to walk on the moon started, was accomplished, and has been dead for decades. Hemlines have risen, fallen, risen, fallen, risen…
Even in the few short years since we came to Ireland in 1996 we have seen phenomenal changes. If you came back for the first time he might thing he was in a different world.
Everything changes – the grass withers and dies. The beauty of flowers fades away and the flower falls from the stem. In all this world of change praise God that one thing never changes and never fades away. The word of God endures FOREVER. What a marvellous gift He gives us in a place we can always find strength and confidence!
