Bible Trivia Fridays

A few years ago, I attempted to study the book of Isaiah on my own.  Its was great, I learned some amazing things, but by about chapter 15 or so, I realized I was in over my head. That book has sixty something chapters.  I'm glad I did it and one verse that I took to memory as I studied was this...

The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40:8

The grass and flowers are us and the good things we do.  The are good and pretty for a time being, but they aren't eternal.  The only thing that is eternal is Jesus.  Think about it, how many famous people or good works do you know that have lasted the test of time?  Most good people and good works are forgotten almost as fast as they are buried in the ground.

I just love this verse and it puts things into perspective for me so often.  You might remember, I had Dylan memorize it when he was three...

So when I came across this scripture, and I saw this at Pine Cove family camp...

I just knew I HAD to decorate my daughter's room in a similar way.  So here is a picture of Sarah's room...

It's my prayer that she will write God's word on her heart, and that she will always know that beauty and things of the world are fleeting, but GOD remains true forever.  His truths and ways are timeless.

This is the scripture I picked for the boys' room.  I pray this for them...

(The writing is not perfect, but it only cost me $1.99 for the paint markers, and I think perfect is over rated!  Plus, it's the message that counts!)

This is a decal that I bought and I don't like it nearly as much.  But the verse does have special significance to me, so I couldn't pass it up!

Have a good weekend friends.

Love,
