About Grass
Isaiah the prophet writes,
“A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Isaiah 40:6-8.
There’s a poem that goes like this,
“Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith's door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then, looking in, I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.
"How many anvils have you had," said I,
"To wear and bater all these hammers so?"
"Just one," said he, and then, with twinkling eye,
The anvil wears the hammers out, you know."
And so, thought I, the anvil of God's Word,
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed - and hammers gone.”

Throughout the centuries many have tried to destroy God’s word. They have tried by force to turn people away from God. They have tried to suppress the word of God. None have been successful. None will ever be.
All those who have ever done anything against the word of God are like Isaiah said,
“All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them”
God’s word lasts forever.
Please think about it.
