“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.” HEBREWS 2:1
Surely you’ve been to a workshop, class or demonstration where a lot of information was placed in your “container”. What of it was really important and what did you remember? You were most likely to remember the information tied to a story or illustration combined with a hands-on experience or at least a visual aid of some sorts. Good teachers/instructors know you will not remember everything but they know you will take home some of the things you “experienced”. That is one of the reasons Jesus preformed so many miracles and gave his disciples similar powers.
The miracles were definitely an experience for the one who received and the ones who viewed “his touch”. Often, today, some think these miracles are just stories from the Bible. Stories that may or may not be accurate or being real. Many believe much of the Bible is figurative versus literal. Do you?
Look at your garden. Do the flowers, shrubs, ground cover and trees look figurative or literal? Are you really seeing what you are seeing? Everything you plant, cultivate and harvest consists of the substance created in Genesis, by God and given to us to care for and have dominion over. (Genesis 1:26)
Authors of the Bible recount many times the events and products
of creation. If there was creation, “In the beginning”, and there is a creator, then we must also be products of his creation. But we are more than plants in a garden or creatures that roam the earth. We are mankind; created in His own image and designed for His adoration and glory. We are also products of the saving Grace and can be “born again” as new creatures in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Garden tip: Spring bloom bulbs are arriving at many of your local outlets. Do research on the time for planting and needs of the various bulbs for your area. Bulbs are not “one size fits all anymore than their other cousins in your garden.
