I love flowers. Spring has long been my favorite season. The regrowth and new life fascinate me. I am paying particular attention to my daisies. They have always been my favorite! They bloom a little later, but they stay in flower a lot longer. They spread their little bursts of joy further each year. They are resilient in the wind and rain, and reach for the sun for sustenance.
Today I’m thinking I’m a little like that. I was a little late getting my act together and turning my life over to Jesus. I took a little longer trusting that God knows best! But now I feel joy and the peace that has longevity, the kind of joy that will spread as I remain obedient and walk in God’s will for my life. I am also counting on the light, who is Jesus, for my sustenance. He keeps me standing through the storms.
Psalm 54:4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
Do you want to experience this joy? Love God. He loves you and wants you to grow and thrive. He gave us Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, to die and rise again to cover our sin debt. We become pure white like the daisy’s petals when we accept his grace. I never have to wonder if He loves me or loves me not. Experience real life and growth. Choose Jesus.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
4 to him who alone does great wonders,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
5 to him who by understanding made the heavens,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
6 to him who spread out the earth above the waters,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
7 to him who made the great lights,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
8 the sun to rule over the day,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
9 the moon and stars to rule over the night,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Psalm 136:1-9
Prayer: Thank you, Jesus, that I can count on your love now and forever. You are the only constantly good thing in my life. May all who are called answer and come to know this truth and experience true joy and peace. In Your Name, I pray. AMEN
