But the Word of our God stands forever!

I was reading Luke 12:22-34 this morning and the Lord brought to mind how much I allow worry to have a grip on my heart. I love Jesus' statement that we can't add an hour to our day by worrying so why worry about any of it. I can almost hear him saying like this "Can any of you add one hour to your day by worrying? Duuuuh!" (Hmmmm, wouldn't the Bible read differently if Jesus had walked the earth during the 80's!!).
Reading His words in Luke reminded me of a pastor I heard during my college years. He would send us out every Sunday with these words from Isaiah 40:8
"The grass withers and the flowers fade but the word of our God stands forever."
Isaiah says in verse 7 "surely the people are grass". It seems like it should be so easy to get my head and heart around it. If I am the grass - everything about my life will wither and fade. His word is the only thing with enough value to stand forever. His truth is the only thing really worth the time and energy my brain spends each day. His word is what I can TRUST.
I want his word to be my main focus, my sustenance, my place of refuge, my source of hope and joy. If I can just get my eyes off of the things that will all burn anyway and dig deeper into his word...
"The grass withers and the flowers fade but the WORD OF OUR GOD STANDS FOREVER."!
