 <\/p>\n

Our trees in Colorado have begun the budding process. The tips of each tree have little green nubs. The warm days have made the trees believe that spring has arrived.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"???????????????????????????????\"<\/a>The problem? Well, we had a blizzard last week. Another round of snow came through over the weekend and I\u2019ve heard rumors that we are to expect another round of snow this week. Winter is not done in Colorado so the real problem is that these cold snaps could cause some damage to these little buds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m reminded of the passage of Scripture from Isaiah about grass and flowers and how they may not be able to withstand the bipolar whims of nature. Blooming trees and flowers may not be able to hold up to the up and down temperatures of this world, but we can hold to this truth. The Word of our God will stand forever.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not only will it stand forever, but within the pages of this precious book are words of encouragement, guidance, freedom, grace, forgiveness, truth and so much more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t believe me? Check out this blog post from Rachel Wojo (click here <\/a>to get to the blog). She has compiled a listing of where to find Scripture when facing certain situations in our lives. Just click on a word and see where it takes you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can trust that God\u2019s Word is filled with an abundant supply of wisdom, but you can also believe that His Word will stand forever.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The song I\u2019ve chosen today speaks directly to this truth and from the verse of Scripture found in Isaiah 40:8 (NIV). \u201cThe grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.\u201d<\/em> I pray that you will find encouragement from this song by Third Day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYour Words\u201d[i]<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let me hear Your words
\nAbove all other voices
\nAbove all the distractions in this world
\n <\/p>\n

Let me hear Your words
\nAbove all of the voices
\nAbove all the distractions in this world
\n <\/p>\n

For Your words bring life
\nAnd Your voice speaks promises
\nLord, Your love offers more
\nThan anything else in this world
\n <\/p>\n

Your words give us life that’s never ending
\nYour words bring us love that never fails
\nEverything else will fade away
\nBut what will remain
\nAre Your words
\n <\/p>\n

Let us speak Your words
\nMore than ours, more than ever
\nLet us share Your love with all the world
\n <\/p>\n

The grass will wither and the flowers will fall
\nBut the word of our God will last forever
\nThe grass will wither and the flowers will fall
\nBut the word of our God will last forever<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n
