Wilted or Watered?
Have you ever walked through an unwatered garden? The plants are wilted. There’s little fruit, if any. What a difference when you walk through a well-watered garden; one loved by the owner. Flowers and fruit abound. The garden has a beautiful fragrance. The gardener has withheld nothing and has committed everything to care His plants. In Jeremiah 31:12 God is described as bountiful and His people like a well-watered garden. “They will come and shout for joy on the height of Zion, and they will be radiant over the bounty of the Lord—and their life will be like a watered garden, and they will never languish again.” If you are languishing today and are physically, emotionally, or spiritually wilted, I understand. Life can at times drain us. Go to the Lord. Open your Bible. Be refreshed and filled by His Spirit. He loves you! Come! Drink.
Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You, BOUNTIFUL Lord, that though life is draining, we don’t have to languish. Rather, in You are the well springs of life. Thank You for Your ever replenishing supply of love, joy, peace, and strength.
