"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surley the people are grass, the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grass hoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and streads them out like a tent to live in.
He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing...
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
because of this great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing..
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak
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"
Isaiah40
its so good to remember
