God's Word Stands Forever - Isaiah 40: 8

Grass grows so fully green
field upon field blade upon blade
but one day the grass will wither
each blade carefully and specially made

A flower grows so full of colours
with highs and lows in every stem
such fragrance on every corner
so beautiful to look upon these gems

It's like any seed sown in the ground
when it grows it blooms bright
but in time it will fade away
like the morning when it turns to night

The only thing that will count
is God's eternal authoritative word
trust God's word, it endures forever
those who reject this truth are absurd

("The grass withers, the flower fades,
    but the word of our God will stand forever.")
Isaiah 40: 8 (ESV)

those who reject this truth are absurd…they will think so in the end. However, we must guard ourselves too lest we fall.
