Scripture Passage: 1 Peter 1:24-25 (NIV)
“All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.”
In 1 Peter, the apostle writes to Christians scattered across different regions, encouraging them to live holy lives in light of their salvation. The verses echo Isaiah 40, where human life is compared to fragile grass and flowers that fade away. Peter contrasts this with the enduring and unchanging nature of God’s Word, emphasizing that while human life is temporary, God’s truth and promises are eternal.
This passage reminds us that everything in this world—our achievements, strength, and beauty—will fade. But God’s Word, which guides and sustains us, will never pass away. As we come together on Sunday to worship, we gather to celebrate this unchanging truth. Our lives may change, seasons come and go, but the Word of God remains our anchor, giving us hope and direction.
Consider how a flower blooms brilliantly for a time, only to wither in the heat of the sun. Yet, the foundation upon which the flower grew—the earth—remains solid. In the same way, our lives may face ups and downs, but the Word of the Lord is a constant, eternal source of truth that holds firm through all generations. Worship on Sunday is a reminder that we build our lives not on the fleeting, but on the everlasting.
As you prepare for worship, reflect on what in your life might be fleeting and what stands eternal. How does God’s enduring Word shape your heart and actions? Are you building your life on what is temporary, or on His promises that last forever?
Today’s Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your Word that stands forever. As I come to worship, help me to focus on what is eternal, laying aside the distractions of this world. Let Your truth guide my life, and may my heart be rooted in the unchanging promises of Your Word. Teach me to worship You in spirit and truth. Amen.
