when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that never fades away.
Isaiah 40:7-8
40:7 The grass dries up,
the flowers wither,
when the wind sent by the Lord blows on them.
Surely humanity is like grass.
40:8 The grass dries up,
the flowers wither,
but the decree of our God is forever reliable.”
Ezekiel 47:12
47:12 On both sides of the river’s banks, every kind of tree will grow for food. Their leaves will not wither nor will their fruit fail, but they will bear fruit every month, because their water source flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.”
James 1:11
1:11 For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever.
So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.
