“All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.”
What are some of the beautiful things that God has made?
“O,” says Billie, “the birds, the butterflies, the animals and fishes—O! such lots and lots of things.”
“And,” puts in his little sister Betty; “don’t forget the flowers—the daisies, buttercups, snowdrops and bluebells.”
She cannot forget the happy times she has spent in the fields picking bunches of the wonderful flowers God has made.
What does God say about flowers in His Word?
I expect often, when Betty brings borne her bunch of flowers, she notices how quickly they droop, and fade and die, although she carefully places them in water. They may keep fresh for a few days, but they do not last forever.
But, children, God’s Word will never fade away. It can never die. He has said in His Word,
Little boy, little girl, are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Have you come to Jesus, and are you ready for His coming again?
There are other things in God’s Word about flowers. The Lord Jesus said Himself,
“The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose,” which speaks of a time coming when all the earth will be very very beautiful, and the Lord Jesus Himself will be the King. God has made them, but remember, too, that they are not too small for Him to see, and how much more will He see and know every little heart that turns to Him in faith.
