Surely the people is grass

Isa.
{40:6} The voice said, Cry.
And he said, What shall I cry?
All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.
{40:7} The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
{40:8} The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

All flesh is grass
All the goodliness...as the flower of the field
The grass withereth
The flower fadeth
Because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it
Surely the people is grass
Grass withereth
Flower fadeth
But the word of our God shall stand for ever

The Word of Our God

John {1:14} And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Word of our God shall stand for ever.

We will fade, we will wither and pass away just as grass does. The Lord's spirit will blow upon us and we are no more and yet Jesus is forever and ever.

God's word is forever.

Creator and Creature.

The Creator made His creatures so that His creatures could live forever. The possibility existed within the man He created for life everlasting. Man forfieted this everlasting life when he chose to disobey the Creator and life everlasting was taken away, but the hope of life everlasting remained. The hope for life everlasting is found in Jesus, God's Son, our Creator's Son who sacrificed Himself for us to have this hope.
We have hope in the word of our God now and forever.
May God help us find this hope, seek this hope, claim this hope through the Holy Spirit, by the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!
Amen.
