Plants are very clever when adapting to their surroundings, no matter how hostile. Extreme cold, extreme heat, so much water or hardly any water, they can live and grow.
If you look at a cactus, inside they are fibrous and spongy, so they can sustain long periods of drought and still thrive. It really is quiet amazing.
It reminds me of a song I like, “Everywhere you go always take the weather with you.” They do that. Internally is how they sustain themselves and I realise I need to do that.
When I find myself in a situation where people may be acting, unfriendly or worse, then I need to rely on the internal power provided to me from my maker.
The surrounding temperatures can be rather frosty or they can be blisteringly hot, however, inside where the Holy Ghost is, it is very nice indeed.
Plants have a built in resilience and so do I. I just need to draw on it. Often times I think I need external approval, appreciation, encouragement, and whether it is forthcoming or not, I must remember, my true resilience is internal. God approves, He appreciates and He encourages me and will continue to do so all the way to the end.
Like the plants, who, I am sure, are not partial to too much of anything, I can survive and thrive in any given situation. Paul did in Acts, prison or free he grew from glory to glory. I have little control over external weather but internally I can and will take the weather with me – the Son!
God Bless
