Praise Like A Garden
Dear Friends,
The colder weather is approaching and my garden only has a few things in bloom now. The rounded mounds of spicy scented fall flowers with their bold tangerine orange and lemon yellow are some of the last colors braving the chill air. I'm so thankful for the colors of autumn all around me. The brilliant colored leaves are everywhere right now and on sunny days the hillsides seem to glow like gold. The brightest time of color only lasts for a short time, then the trees will be dark and empty until the snow covers the branches.
We have so many things to praise God for. So many blessings come in praising and thankfulness. Praise brings growth to the garden of our hearts. I desire for this garden to grow and bloom even during the months that the garden outside is resting.
Isaiah 61:11 says this in a beautiful way.
"The Sovereign Lord will show His justice to the nations of the world. Everyone will praise Him! His righteousness will be like a garden in early spring, with plants springing up everywhere."
Prayer and praise does change things. The changes start inside of us and then around us.
