Tonight as I'm reading in Jeremiah I find myself comparing my relationship with the Lord to a flower, your probably like oh, she's weird.... but seriously! A huge beautiful sunflower.
Plant yourself.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose trust is the Lord. “For he will be like a tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit."
As I was thinking about this scripture, I just kept hearing "plant your self, Hailey'"
Put your mind to that. Are you planted? Are you deep in the word? Are you pleasing the Lord? By planted I mean, is your life surrounded with the Lords love? Plant yourself in Godly ways! Plant yourself around Godly people! I wish this whole world had zero sin, no temptation. BUT that's not the case! We have to separate our self from the rest of the world, and (once again) plant ourselves in God.
After I was finished my little worship time, I turned on my phone and one of the first things I saw, was "Grow where you are planted." That's the Lords works, I didn't have to click on that page and see that, I think that was the Lord telling me, planting yourself is just step 1! Growing in Christ is so important to me, just falling deeper and deeper in his greatness. This is where I found myself comparing myself to a flower. Right now, I am a small new born flower, but my prayer is that one day I will grow into a huge, beautiful sunflower who's seeds blow to others! But think about this; flowers take nurturing if you want them to grow, you have to plant them in good soil, water them!
WE as children of God, have to put ourselves in good soil; not doing sinful things, not hanging around wrong doers, but doing what is right, and doing that with others who share Gods love with you! WE as children of God have to also water our love, trust, and faith in the Lord; Not listening to or participating in ungodly activity! but worshiping the Lord, and drowning in his word.
Trust more. Worry less.
How many of you could say you would put your biggest worry in Gods hands, and not worry about it at all? Not many. I cant! But what we don't realize is that if we have TRUE faith that God will provide, then GOD WILL PROVIDE! Trust that God has a plan, and if things are going great, it isn't over, and one day your faith will pay off, and the lord will laaavvvishhh you with greatness! eepp. I love the Lord. LET GO MY LOVES! Gods got ahold of you!!!!!
1 Peter 5:7
"Give all your worries to God, for he cares about you."
Plant your self. Grow. Trust.
