![]() Whoever sees it will snatch it up, as an early fig is quickly picked and eaten.”ĥ. Isaiah 28:4 “It sits at the head of a fertile valley, but its glorious beauty will fade like a flower. It is the pride of a people brought down by wine.”Ĥ. ![]() It sits at the head of a fertile valley, but its glorious beauty will fade like a flower. Isaiah 28:1 “What sorrow awaits the proud city of Samaria–the glorious crown of the drunks of Israel. The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.”ģ. Psalm 103:14-15 “For he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.”Ģ. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business. James 1:10-11 “But the rich should take pride in their humiliation– since they will pass away like a wild flower. God’s sovereignty, His faithfulness, and His love will never fade. However, unlike flowers and the things of this world God and His Word will always remain the same. Whether it be money, beauty, humans, stuff, etc. Anything in this world that we put our hope in will one day wither away. ![]() You can give flowers sunlight, you can give the proper amount of water, but one thing will always remain true. “If a skillful workman can turn a little earth and ashes into such curious transparent glasses as we daily see, and if a little seed that bears no show of such a thing can produce the more beautiful flowers of the earth and if a little acorn can bring forth the greatest oak why should we once doubt whether the seed of everlasting life and glory, which is now in the blessed souls with Christ, can by Him communicate a perfection to the flesh that is dissolved into its elements?” Richard Baxter This faculty is most important for the vivid and attractive exhibition of truth to the minds of men.” Thomas Fuller “Most marvellous and enviable is that fecundity of fancy which can adorn whatever it touches, which can invest naked fact and dry reasoning with unlooked for beauty, make flowers bloom even on the brow of the precipice, and turn even the rock itself into moss and lichens. “God is in all creatures, even in the smallest flowers.” - Martin Luther “Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.” Henry Ward Beecher In other words, that it made the soul like a field or garden of God, with all manner of pleasant flowers.” Jonathan Edwards “Holiness appeared to me to be of a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene, calm nature which brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness, and ravishment to the soul. “Lovely flowers are the smiles of god’s goodness.” Right things are rare flowers that need cultivation.” Charles Spurgeon “Evil things are easy things: for they are natural to our fallen nature. “Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.” “Flowers are the music of the ground from earth’s lips spoken without sound.” -Edwin Curran Nothing happens that has not been appointed with consummate care and foresight.” F.B. “The sweetest scents are only obtained by tremendous pressure the fairest flowers grow amid Alpine show-solitudes the fairest gems have suffered longest from the lapidary’s wheel the noblest statues have borne most blows of the chisel. The flowers of God’s garden bloom not only double, but sevenfold they are continually pouring forth fresh fragrance.” Charles Spurgeon “No Scripture is exhausted by a single explanation. “God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.” Martin Luther
