St. Titus One Power Word
July, 2018
“What’s growing in your Garden?”
There are many gardens being put together with an array of flower types and colors. There’s rose gardens, lilies, chrysanthemums daisies, orchids, etc. There are vegetable and fruit gardens, some even on purpose grow natural gardens.
“What’s growing in your Garden?”
In fact, the Bible shares with us how in the beginning of our existence God had a garden. God’s garden was called the “Garden of Eden”, where every type and color was on full display. God grew every size and type of trees as well. When we observe all that our God has and is still doing, one can’t help but recognize that Man-Kind is in fact God’s greatest garden.
“What’s growing in your Garden?”
God has made us into the most diverse assortment of sizes and colors as well as gifts and talents. All done with the notion that we would glorify him whom made us, yet somehow we have managed to rebel against the design our creator has for us and not only caused death and sin in the mix, but continue to promote the growth of it in the personal gardens of our lives.
“What’s growing in your Garden?”
We have many complaints about the devastating events of our communities, with a seemingly penchant for unchecked violence. We need to pray for God to open our eye to see that all of this is judgement from God for a reward for our turning away from him. If your garden is full of mess remember that you planted it.
“What’s growing in your Garden?”
The answer to this question is 2nd Chronicles 7:14; “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will heal their land.” Your planted garden is your land. Come back to Church and seek God’s face, I’ll see you at service Sunday.
