Digging Deeper Psalm 103:15-19

15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is from
everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.

Points to ponder: The brevity of life. I don't know about you but there are parts of my lawn that are pretty brown right now, and my hanging flower pots have gone the way of most of my plants.... dried up and gone. A two-week vacation left them unattended with no rain. They did not survive my thoughtlessness. There is nothing permanent about grass or flowers. Likewise, we pass this way ever so briefly. Years from now, there will be little or no evidence that we have passed this way at all, other than our children and grandchildren. But, in contrast, the evidence of God's love and of His presence remains the same forever, steadfast, unshrinking, unpassing, and undying. It is this God who rules and reigns over all. Amen.
