As we are about to enter 2019 – the theme for 2019’s #fridayfootprints changes to ‘Gardening with God.’
By way of an introduction to the theme, we start with Genesis 1:9-13 …. vs 12 … “The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”
He saw that it was good!
Yet, in order for it to stay good …. We need to move to Luke 13:8 … “Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.”
Our work in the gardens of the world is to dung it and dig it! No garden survives as God would have it without the sweat equity that goes with it.
We will not yield the produce the Lord wants without the effort! For 2019, our gardens must go through this process. Join me as we discover the joy of creating colour in our efforts of Gardening with God. Colours that will brighten a world devoid of the splendour of God and a humanity barren of fruit. And as we garden with God let us experience the peace which comes with the beauty around us knowing that we have each had a hand in the blossoming of God’s Garden. Happy 2019!
