Over the summer I had a lot of new flowering plants around to water and care for, and the beautification it gave around the home outside was something I really enjoyed.
Here’s an interesting perspective when you think about it, the plants and flowers which are pleasing to look at don’t grow by their own care or anxiety or effort.
Instead it’s us that are overseeing to their needs daily.
Another perspective is those plants in a natural habitat can thrive by the furnishing hand of God, who is the minister to their life.
By it’s own power it cannot grow itself.
It needs help from their surroundings. Air, sunshine and food.
What these gifts of nature are to the plants, is likened to Christ to those who trust in Him. He is “the everlasting light” a “sun and shield” His is the living water, Bread of God which comes down from Heaven giving life to the world. John 6:33
God enriched the whole world with grace as real as the air we breath. All who would choose to breathe His life giving air (Jesus) will live and grow – just like the flower which follows the sun beams that it may aide in it’s perfecting beauty, so should we turn to the Son of righteousness that heaven’s light may shine on us so our characters may developed into the likeness of Christ.
May the Spirit of the Lord God be upon us today that we would be trees of righteousness planted by the Lord, so that He may be glorified.
In Christ love, Amen
