Looking at the wildflowers growing alongside River Road, what He revealed to me was this:
The world says “bloom where you’re planted” yet God would have us “Bloom Where He plants us!”
We can bloom and flourish no matter where he has planted us. Wildflowers can be nourished through the seasons of winter and spring rains, and then through the seasons of summer and fall with scorching sun and complete lack of water and nourishment bloom beautiful flowers.
We too, can be a beautiful bloom even in the midst of a scorching trial and unlike the wildflower He will always provide us with His rich nourishment. The key is Trust in Him. There is huge peace and great obedience in resting in the place He has us, no matter what that looks like.
If we will humble ourselves and call out to Him and ask Him for the ability to fully trust him and commit our lives and our spirit to Him like Jesus did (Luke 23:46), He will be faithful to answer that prayer and provide the Trust we need since we are unable to do that in our own strength.
And at the core of trust is allowing God to do what He wants with our lives!
