EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
God, You are so beautiful. Words can not describe the wonder of Who You Are!
God makes us to lie down in green pastures and leads us besides the still waters and as Psalm 23 describes; HE RESTORES OUR SOULS!
I saw this picture of a Lily, which immediately reminded me of my childhood. When I was a little girl, I’d run and play in my grandmother’s meadow, where these beautiful Lily of the Valley flowers grew.
I’d pick the tiny flowers and relish the beauty of their fragrance, then bring them home to my “Nonny.” She would proceed to tell me the scriptures and sing me the song about “the Lily of the valley, the bright and morning star and who that star in the song is.” It is a special memory as I read these scriptures.
The Bible mentions lilies 15 times in 15 different verses.
Of these 15 mentions, 8 of them occur in the Song of Solomon.
Thought I’d share some:
Song of Solomon 2:1-I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
Song of Solomon 2:2-As the lily among thorns so is my love among the daughters.
Song of Solomon 6:2-My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Hosea 14:5-I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Matthew 6:28,29-And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
God, You are so beautiful. We are your daughters, Your lilies among thorns.❣️
