Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. Matthew 6:28
Today I had a crappy day…they happen on occasion to everyone sometimes. And then I caught a glimpse of one of my daylillies blooming for the very first time this season.
It’s simple I guess…just a flower blooming. Nothing new. But today I stared at that flower for a good long while.
If you know anything about gardening they are called day lilies for a reason. They only bloom for one day. Just ONE DAY.
It just made me think, if I was the creator (and let’s all be glad I’m not) I wouldn’t pay much attention to something that will only be around for a day. But look at these beauties! Illustrated with such exquisite detail and precision. It’s remarkable!
And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? Matthew 6:29
It blows my mind how remarkable and carefully made a simple flower can be…yet His word says I am even more valuable!
He will care for the flowers, how much more we He care for his people?
And what a reminder to enjoy each precious day. Bad days happen to everyone. But outside circumstances are just that…out side. CHOOSING joy despite all that is where we “Bloom” (I couldn’t help myself I had to take that gardening pun)
So today is our day to shine… be what we were created to be. Whether it rains, we get a flat tire or people are just mean. Today is our day to bloom.
