Before leaving home for a visit, I gave my plants an inordinate amount of water as a ‘just in case’ measure. Our trip extended and two and half weeks later we returned home. On arrival, I eagerly went to my plants, anxious to discover whether they had endured without water. I was pleased to see that the majority survived. However, one had suffered greatly and was showing signs of distress, its leaves were hanging limply, it was about to die. I was heart broken; immediately I poured my bottled water on praying it would revive.
The following morning the stems were firm, and all the leaves were standing upright. Though I hoped for this miracle, I was amazed by the transformation.
My unplanned extended visit had affected my plants. Similarly, life sometimes has curve and loops. You may right now be navigating your way through one of life unexpected detour. Maybe you are renegotiating areas of your life following bereavement, a personal attack, memories and left over pain. You would like to begin to put the pieces back together but is unsure how.
Like my plant though this season may appear dry, you feel defenseless with nothing to hold. The word of God provides anchor and nourishment for every stage of life. The invitation in the word of God is.
“.. Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:14
Jesus understands these diversions in fact; He remains constant through the unexpected events in life. They are not a surprise to Him. He has walked through every phase of your life, past, present and future and has made provision for every emergency.
Very inspiring and encouraging words of hope, freedom and can give deeper insight into how one can build up their walk with God.
