In biblical times, the morning was often associated with new beginnings and renewal, as seen in <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>, where God's mercies are described as new every morning. The imagery of grass is common in Scripture to depict the brevity of life, as in <a href="/isaiah/40-6.htm">Isaiah 40:6-8</a>, emphasizing the contrast between the eternal nature of God and the fleeting existence of humans. The morning symbolizes hope and potential, a time when life seems full of promise and opportunity.<p><b>but by evening it fades and withers</b><br>The evening represents the inevitable decline and end of life, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible. This imagery of fading and withering grass is a reminder of mortality and the swift passage of time, echoing <a href="/job/14.htm">Job 14:1-2</a>, where life is described as short-lived and full of trouble. The cultural context of the ancient Near East, where the harsh sun could quickly wither vegetation, underscores the fragility of life. This phrase also serves as a call to wisdom, urging believers to live with an awareness of life's brevity, as seen in <a href="/psalms/90-12.htm">Psalm 90:12</a>, which asks God to teach us to number our days. The cycle from morning to evening can be seen as a metaphor for the human life span, pointing to the need for reliance on God's eternal nature and promises.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>- Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/90.htm">Psalm 90</a>, Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for leading the Israelites out of Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites_in_the_wilderness.htm">Israelites in the Wilderness</a></b><br>- The context of <a href="/bsb/psalms/90.htm">Psalm 90</a> is often associated with the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, a time of reflection on human frailty and dependence on God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wilderness.htm">The Wilderness</a></b><br>- Represents a place of testing and reliance on God, where the Israelites learned about the brevity and challenges of life.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_brevity_of_life.htm">The Brevity of Life</a></b><br>Life is fleeting, much like the grass that springs up in the morning and withers by evening.
