Find Something Blooming

Home » Garden Moments » Find Something Blooming
crown anemone 'de caen' in full bloom

by Shelley S. Cramm In: Garden Moments on Apr 16, 2015

I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God…
Isaiah 61:10 NIV

A walk through a garden almost always reveals something blooming; finding even one new flower is like discovering a secret, its surprise certain to delight and send a sense of rescue and relief through our souls.

…for just as the earth brings forth its plants, or a garden makes its plants spring up, so Adonai, God, will cause victory and glory to spring up before all nations.
Isaiah 61:11 CJB

crown anemone 'de caen' in full bloom

 

For how can the day be so daunting if a Promised-Land-posy’s petals have opened wide?
blooming bearded irisesAnd who would despair in the midst of momentary troubles if a full pride of irises appeared?

 

 

And who are we to take these buds and blooms as hints of the Lord’s triumph, not merely in our demeanor but in the realm of his grander plan and advance of his Word? We can ascribe these garden glories to God’s Word because the LORD did so! He is the One to set his victory in the garden, to give his salvation story a garden grounding.

Vinca minor flowers

 

May we slip out—in whatever strength we can summons—to a garden today, and hear the flowers remind us to say:

yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Habakkuk 3:18 NIV
