How Does Your Garden Grow...?
Anyone who has a love of horticulture is familiar with the growing process of plants. Be it the large scale farmer, or the backyard gardener, the scale differs but the process is the same. Prepare the earth, plant the seed, water and patiently wait for the plant to grow to maturity. During the growth process, the sprouted seed must absorb nutrients from the soil, water and sunlight. It must develop strength to withstand the winds (of adversity), as well as the attack of insects that would devour it. Farmers use many methods to protect their crops from the elements of nature that would prevent them from obtaining a 'good harvest.' By way of analogy, (comparison), we are God's garden.
"The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof" 1 Corinthians 10:26. "Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is" Deuteronomy 10:14. And we, my friends, are 'the planting of the Lord'...
"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified" Isaiah 61:3.
