I am not a gardener by any means. Worms, snakes, lizards, bees will all move me back to my perch on the porch! Today, however, I was looking for a physical activity after doing a word study in the Bible for over an hour. My head was overflowing with verses and not sure of the direction I wanted to take, I walked into the yard. Pruning, weeding, munching, pulling out dead leaves. It freed my mind to “chew” on the things of God. It allowed my body to move, squat, lift. The beautiful blue sky, the gentle breeze brought peace and calm. Yes, the task was tedious, my back a little sore, but praising God in the garden.
I Corinthians 15:58 “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”
1 Corinthians 10:31 “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
