Digging Deeper

I was using my leaf blower to clear a path in the wooded part of my property that had been neglected. The leaves were a foot deep and took a long time to move them. As I removed layer by layer I discovered a wonderful surprise under the leaves. There were Lilly of the Valley plants blooming under all of those leaves.

I had to think about times when I have had to work hard, with the Lord’s help, to get through tough times. But when I continued to trust in God, dig deeper in His word and persevere, there was always a blessing waiting for me.

“…All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the LORD endures forever.”   I Peter 1:24,25  NKJV

There is stability in the fact that God and His word never changes.
