It's pouring rain outside, but just before the deluge, the wind began to blow and outside the front window of our house is this large blossom pictured at the left. Notice the different positions of the flower as it is tossed in the wind. It was tossed left and right, and back again, several times, and when the rain began pouring down it bowed very low. I remember some lines from and old song that reads like this:
Little flowers never worry, when the wind begins to blow,
and they never never cry, when the rain begins to fall.
After a couple additional stanzas the song continues with these words:
Oh I guess they've learned the secret; They don't fret because they know, If it never, never rained, then they'd never, never grow.
Perhaps it feels like the storm clouds have gathered in your life today. Maybe the winds are blowing, and you are tossed about. Take heart! Be encouraged, God is still on the throne. He hasn't forgotten any of His precious promises to you.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to proper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)."
