Holy, Holy, Holy are You Lord! As I begin to write today’s entry this worship song is playing in the background and I just can’t help but worship this wonderful, loving God we get to serve!

Every spring I have the same prep work to get done in my yard so the gardens and all of the flower beds are ready to do their maximum work creating the beauty God intended them to produce. When a week like this one takes place and there is wind each time I need to prep without wind, I have this sense of “yikes, I’ve got to get this done”! Each year I get it done and I will again this year. My flesh always seems to repeat its behavior and I need to relearn what surrender of this is like. Sounds silly, but it’s true. Our flesh will always dominate us if we don’t recognize its frailty. Amazingly, once I’ve surrendered it and simply thank God for all the blessings of garden and yard, I get it done. It is then that I wonder why I ever let this sense of panic start in the first place?

In all of life these choices are before us. The earlier we learn to surrender and trust, the sooner we find that peace that passeth all understanding. God always provides that way of escape as He promises in I Corinthians 10:13. How GOOD OUR GOD IS!
