This has been a summer of dry, hot days. It seems we can't get any rain unless it is accompanied by hurricane force winds. So my husband has been yielding the garden hoses a lot. We have several kinds of sprinklers including a yellow tractor sprinkler that moves about the yard, following the path of the hose. Thank God for sprinklers.
When we walk we often have to dodge sprinklers or somedays when it is so hot, we don't even care if we get wet. We see every kind of sprinkler imaginable in action this summer. Lucky are those who have in-ground sprinkler heads that pop up and begin spraying as programmed.
The grass is getting brown without the water. It stays fresh and green with watering. The flowers also seek refreshment from watering and vegetables need water to continue growing and producing fruit.
Scripture relates the growing season to our lives and getting older.
"The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, "The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him,"" (Psalm 92:12-15 NIV).
Thank you, God for sprinkling us with Your wisdom. Thank you that we can have faith firmly in You. As we walk through our lives, thank You for giving us strength and energy so we can continue to proclaim You as our Rock! Amen.
