Morning Devotional:
Well, it finally happened. The two flower pots on my front porch that I had attempted to care for all spring and summer died.
Their death was quite unceremonious and frankly, completely expected. It’s what happens when you neglect to deadhead them, prune them back, water them, or provide any of the basics of plant care. They hung on for a long time given all of the obstacles they had to overcome, but I had to call time of death yesterday afternoon. Their time was done. It was finally over.
I’ve never claimed to have a green thumb. I’m all thumbs when it comes to anything related to gardening and it shows. You can give flowers sunlight, you can give them the proper amount of water, but one thing will always remain true. Flowers will eventually fade and die. Anything in this world that we put our hope in will one day wither away, whether it be our money, our relationships, our stuff, our work, whatever. However, unlike flowers and the things of this world God and His Word will always remain. Lamentations 3:22 tells us, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end.” God’s sovereignty, His faithfulness, and His love will never die. Praise be to our God.
