“The grass withers, the flower fades, surely the people are grass, but the
Word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:7-8
In the Blondie comic strip someone asked Dagwood if he was counting the
days to the next Thanksgiving, and Dagwood showed him the calendar with a giant
turkey calling out the number of days. Stores are constantly reminding us of
how many shopping days until Christmas. People look forward to special days
with great anticipation.
God had promised a Savior
to Adam and Eve 4,000 years before Christ. He promised the Virgin born Son to
Isaiah 750 years before Christ. A lot of people had bloomed and faded like
grass during that long wait, but God fulfilled His promise at just the right
time. Millions have waited for the Second Advent and gone to sleep while
waiting. But while we are like grass that withers away, God’s promises are
certain to take place. Just because it doesn’t happen in 30 days or 365 days,
we are assured that it will and that we will see our Savior face to face.
Dear Father, Keep our hope
steadfast that Jesus will come again just as Your word says. Amen.
