“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

How has your week been for you? Has it been smooth sailing or has there been bumps in the road. This has been a busy and stressful week for me. I have had activities outside of our home every evening this week. I have run up against some frustrating road blocks that have added to my stress. As I prepared for today’s blog post I was drawn to this beautiful photograph taken by Ray White. I googled “scripture about horizon”. As I read through the scriptures listed, I felt a nudge towards today’s featured verse. As I read it over and meditated on it I was reminded that the promises of God never fail and that God is with me through the stress. I then decided to turn to the scripture and read its context. At this point I really hadn’t paid attention to the scripture “address” (chapter and verse). How had I not realized that this verse comes from the same chapter as my life verse?

“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah‬ ‭40:30-31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

WOW! God is so good. In the midst of my stress, I was led to a reminder of the goodness of God.

Today is Thankful Thursday. Today may we each keep our eyes open for the goodness of God that surrounds us. May we each praise God and give thanks for the enduring word of God.
