All flesh is as grass, and the glory of it as the flower

[Stewardofthemystery]

All flesh is as grass and the glory of it as the flowers of the field.

This world and the fashion of it, even the glory of this world is soon to pass away.

Those who are of this world seek to adorn themselves in their own outward beauty, and clothe themselves with their own glory of wealth and riches. But the Lord shows us by similitudes that the people who are of the flesh, and those who live to the lusts of the flesh, are also the ones who glory in materialism and the riches of this world.
 

The Lord shows us these peoples are “like grass,” and their riches are like “the flower”that clothes the fields of grass.

These being like fields of grass clothed with the glory of this world shall pass away, when the Lord blows upon the fashion and glory of this world with scorching heat.

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.”

Notice how Jesus mentioned Solomon in all his glory (wealth) compared to the flowers of the field, when speaking of “clothing” in Matthew 6:24-34

 

²⁴ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

²⁵ Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

²⁶ Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

²⁷ Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

²⁸ And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

²⁹ And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

³⁰ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

³² (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁴ Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
