The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.

- Nahum 1:7

This past summer, I was gone for a few days. When I returned, several of my plants were wilting due to the heat and lack of water.

However, what struck me was they were still facing towards the sun, drawn inexplicably to it.

However, the moment I watered them, they all perked up, and the leaves uncurled and spread out beautifully.

It made me think of how as believers, we are like those plants. So often, when we are in the heat of the battle, we become hardened under the pressure.

We may even want to curl up and wither away. However, if we spend time in God’s Word and prayer, we gain the nutrients we need to withstand the trial and grow beautifully.

Today: Just as the flowers turn towards the sun, it is important we turn toward the Lord of light through daily time with Him.
