My yard and garden were about to burn up. I needed God's ray of rain to restore and bring it back to life. It is the same with Scripture. I need God's Word to lift me up, keep me refreshed, and nourished.
Scripture
The grass withers,
And the flowers fade
Without God’s aid.
He sends the dew and the rain
To restore once again.
So, it is with man.
We have dried up human thinking
When Scripture, we aren’t drinking.
But, man has no need to be dried up,
When they can fill their cup.
The Word of God is a living, active thing-
Wisdom given by a King.
The Psalms teach how to repent and share;
How to care!
The gospels introduce us to Jesus, God’s Son;
About love and how it’s done.
The epistles show ways to hope in the midst of trials,
As we walk tiresome miles.
To keep from being dried up,
We must daily take a bite and sup;
Meet with the One who transforms
And rescues from life’s storms.
Scripture nourishes! It restores!
It opens doors!
It teaches and convicts;
It solves conflicts.
It encourages with poems, prayers, and laments.
It’s filled with every-day life contents.
When we indulge, we engage. We connect!
We gain positive side effects.
Scripture!
It’s been here from stone age to modern age.
It will never be upstaged.

The grass withers and the flower falls, but the word of our God endures forever.”
Isaiah 40:8
A perfect comparision between needs if nature and the need of people.
