Lent - Day Thirty Three

RHS Bridgewater, Salford
"For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations." Isaiah 61 verse 11

How does your garden grow?  We need the right things to all be in place, and 'hey-presto' the miracle of life occurs.  What do we do?  We weed, we tend the soil, we water, we plant the seed, we protect the small shoots from being eaten or trodden on.  The sun brings warmth and light, and the seed grows into a mighty bush, so strong that bird shelter in it over night and eat its fruit.

Righteousness and Praise are like the new shoots of hope and life.  We need these in our lives every day.  Without them life is not worth living. 

Question: Do I know that my devotion to the Lord is part of this plan to save the world?

Prayer:  Let us praise God every time we see the righteous.
