Isaiah 61 - The Garden Grows

"For as the soil makes the sprout come up
    and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
   
   and praise spring up before all nations." (Isa 61:11 NIV)

We had a very late spring this year. Planting came late. Yet, it has not stopped the gardens from sprouting. They have become quite lush just in the few weeks since the seeds were planted. If the soil is good and the seed is planted, there will be a harvest as the plants come to full growth.

And... in the fullness of time righteousness and praise as sprung up before all the nations. Of course, there are those who reject His righteousness and refuse to praise or refuse to see any cause for praise; just as in my garden there were a few seeds which just refused to sprout. I don't know if the soil was not worked enough in those areas or if the seed was just plain bad.

But, the garden grows and righteousness springs forth as we give thanks and praise for the harvest through Jesus Christ, our LORD.

God's Peace - Pr. J
