“Plant a Seed, Flower, Plant, or Herb!”
When was the last time we planted, anything? Last week? Last year? Never?
Today is the first day of Spring! Warmer weather and the anticipation of swimsuits and swimming pools abound. The changing weather is one sign of a new season, but the emergence of new growth is what many people notice.
Are you a flower and plant person? Or do you prefer crops and herbs? Maybe trees, fruits, and berries are your thing. Whatever you prefer, God is the One who creates it all. Sure, we can do all kinds of things with science and horticulture, creating bigger tomatoes and fluffier roses. However, only God can create the seeds, roots, foliage, and produce.
If your thumb is green, this will be an easy Challenge. However, if your brown thumb kills every plant by touch, this won’t be easy. Don’t fret; we have confidence in you. One option might be to purchase a plant or save the seeds from your apple or lemon. Then, search the web for instructions on how to care for what you’ve chosen, and follow the directions. It’s not difficult to make the effort, but like so much of life, God just needs our participation and assistance along the way.
So, what will it be? What will you and God choose to grow? Don’t miss this Challenge. If you can’t plant today, do your research today and plant this weekend.
It’s the first day of Spring! In honor of the LORD, get busy planting something!
“Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants.” (Deuteronomy 32:2, NLT)
