In reading my morning devotional today, I stumbled upon the phrase "All flesh is grass." I did a quick search on Google and discovered that this is an often used phrase in the Bible that speaks of human life being transitory or not permanent.
The reading today was on Isaiah 40:1-5 and the essence of the reading was God is still there for his people. He hasn't left them even though it appears that way at times, as people go into exile. The Lord will make provision for their forgiveness and life in the restoration.
God meets us in the lowest point of life and rescues us.
And then verse 6 - 8 reminds us that the Word of the Lord stands forever. "All flesh is grass." Man is not permanent, but God's word is permanent. Grass withers, flower fades, but God's word, it never changes.
So, never forget the Lord's promises. They don't change from generation to generation. God's promises to the Judahites can still be promises to us today. We will be rescued. "The Lord Returns to His People."
