Men are as Grass

In II Kings 20 we read of the plight of King Hezekiah. In the space of three verses, King Hezekiah was going to die; so then he prayed, and then God reversed his plan and gave King Hezekiah another 15 years of life, and he healed him using a poultice of figs.

Life is truly fragile and our days are numbered by the Lord. Should we be fearful then? Bible tells us that men’s days are like grass; only a fleeting time on this earth. But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting. God has given us understanding that we will live again—if we are in Him, meaning if we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. Men are as grass, but our lives are safely held in His hands.
