A Word About Flowers...

A Word About Flowers…..

     I always look forward to springtime when the flowers begin to grow and bloom. I love walking around and looking at the many different types, and varieties of flowers and the settings in which they are growing.

     I try to notice the distinct colors and shapes, from the very delicate to those which are so robust and hardy. Sometimes I can even remember those which are annual and those which are perennial.

     In verses 15 through 17 of Psalms 103, our lives are compared to that of flowers.  Like the beautiful flowers of the fields and in our gardens, our lives are frail, and are subject to the winds and storms of life. We need watered and fed. We bloom for a while and when the wind of time passes over us, we are gone.

     But verse 17 reminds us “the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him …..” It is through God’s Word, prayer and the gathering and fellowship of the saints we are fed and watered. It is through our faith in Jesus Christ that we too become perennial and our lives bloom forever.

     May you blossom as the flowers in your garden – and may the beauty and glory of the Lord be seen in you this day and forever!
