People and the Word.

Today I found 1 Peter 1:24-25 super interesting. Yesterday I wrote about the word of God and how it is alive and active. Today this verse had to do with the word of God again. This verse compares people to the word of God. It says that "all people are like grass, and all their glory is like flowers of the field. The grass withers, and the flowers fall." but then it goes on to say "But the word of the Lord endures forever." I loved this analogy of the grass and the flowers. I see this verse as a reminder that we cannot just put our trust on what people say, but on the word of God. God knows us better than anyone and he has a purpose for us. As a teenager I trust my best friends a lot and friends come and go, but God and his word will always be there for me. When asking for advice it is good to ask people that you know are wise, but the word of the Lord endures forever. God was, is , and will always be the same, he is the best advisor to have and to count on. I want to recognize the word of God as alive, active, and long lasting. Again, I want to keep putting it to practice.
