3. **Psalm 104:14-15**: "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and hay for man’s labor, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth: And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shine: and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart." (KJV)
This psalm praises God's creation and provision, mentioning flowers and vegetation as part of His goodness.
4. **Job 14:7-8**: "Man dieth unto his full day: but as the flower cometh forth, he is cut down; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not." (KJV)
This verse uses the fleeting nature of flowers to illustrate the brevity of human life.
5. **Matthew 6:28-30**: "And why take ye thought for your garment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin... But if God so clothe the grass of the field, which is today and tomorrow cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe thee, O ye of little faith?" (KJV)
Jesus uses the example of flowers blooming without effort or worry to encourage trust in God's care for us.
These verses remind us that flowers blooming in nature can be a beautiful representation of God's love and provision for us.
You're thinking of Psalm 90:12, which says:
"So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Make us glad for a matter of days,
and let us have pleasure therein,
as it were, daily, and be lifted up in thy favor,
and that the days of our life may be as the flower,
and as the shadow; yea, the chiefest day of the feast."
This verse is often interpreted to mean that our time on earth is short and fleeting, like a flower that blooms for a brief moment before wilting. It's encouraging us to make the most of the time we have, and to prioritize wisdom, joy, and God's favor in our daily lives.
In this sense, the phrase "Life is like a flower" is often used to convey the idea that life is fragile, ephemeral, and precious. Just as a flower blooms and then withers, so too do our years on earth come and go. It's a reminder to cherish each day, to prioritize what's truly important, and to make the most of the time we have.

You're thinking of the beautiful analogy in Matthew 6:28-30:
"And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
In this passage, Jesus compares the simplicity and beauty of flowers to our worries about material things (like clothing). Just as flowers don't worry about their appearance or provide for themselves, we're reminded not to worry about our daily needs or possessions. Instead, we can trust in God's provision and care.
This verse is often referred to as a reminder of God's sovereignty and our need to cast our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). It encourages us to focus on the present moment and trust that God will provide for our needs, just as He takes care of the flowers that bloom in His creation.
