Smiling Flowers
When was the last time you walked outside after a storm and not worried if your shoes got wet?
Needless to say this has been a hard week for me (like what week isn’t); but I was reminded by my beautiful wife that I can not continue to carry my burden on my own… that I need to rely on Him. Men, this is the reason why God gave you a wife… so listen to her. Then I walked outside today after a storm and I took my camera. As I looked around I was completely humbled buy the Grandness of our God. As I looked around I could see the very fingerprint of God in every raindrop.
As I took pictures; I reflected on my own walk with Him and saw what I needed to adjust in my life and I remembered the words of Jesus, “He who has ears, let him hear”. I think that if he where speaking to a photographer he would say, “He who has Eyes, let him See”. Its true what His word says …
Psalm 139:14
… I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
It’s completely unfathomable that we, the human race, elevate ourselves to the very level of God and pretend we do not need him, that we are in control of everything, and even to the extent that he doesn’t really exist. Then everything around use fails and we wonder why. Here is what the good word says …
Jeremiah 29:11-12
11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
12: Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Go walk around after a storm and take a look at a flower or two and see how they almost “Smile”. How they praise His name and glow with the Love of God and remember that it was YOU that was created in His own image. That it was YOU he died for and its YOU that he wants to shower His love on when you face a storms.
Don’t worry about the shoes… its not like anyone has to twist your arm into buying new ones.
