Flowers


I Peter 24-25
All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever.

&
Matthew 6: 28-34
See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


I'm not sure how or if this relates, but in my mind, I keep mulling over this. These flowers in the photos are weeds, about to be plowed, turned over into the ground. What we consider flowers are really weeds in life sometimes too...because the only thing that is truly beautiful and lasting is God's word, according to scripture.
