Bro. John:
I love it when the Lord uses things of nature that he has created to teach us!
I was out on my patio this morning tidying up for the spring and summer. I have some plants that are known as “Hen and Chicks” that are very hardy. You can leave them out all winter and they still come back in the spring and summer! I noticed they were starting to grow again so I “fluffed up” the soil a little to refresh it. As I was doing that, the Lord taught me about God’s Life vs. Plant Life. Plant life lies dormant during the winter. It “sleeps” or is “inactive” as you would have it. With God’s Life, we do not ever have to lie dormant (sleep or be inactive) unless we yield to the flesh instead of the Spirit! I just thought that was such a good lesson! If we are dormant, it is because we let the flesh make us inactive or sluggish. God’s Life is alive all the time!
God’s lessons are all around us! It was good to feel His Life in me this morning teaching me and making me thankful for God’s Life!
