They Shall Vanish

When I returned from a three week holiday to Queensland in September, I was amazed to see so many beautiful flowers blooming in my garden. It made me think of how when we plant the right things in our lives, the result can be beauty. However, within a month they had almost completely died off and looked ugly! So my mind returned to what my flowers usually remind me of. Psalm 37: 20 -
But the wicked shall perish;
And the enemies of the LORD,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
My flowers are beautiful for a while, but they are also a regular reminder that the success of the wicked is brief.
