September 10
Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new."
- Revelation 21:5, NKJV
“Then God said, ‘Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.’ And it was so” (Gen. 1:11, NIV).
I wonder what it would have been like to watch the bleak, barren, desolate planet suddenly softened with
spidery ferns,
exotic orchids,
weeping willow trees,
carpeted fields of grass,
until it was breathtakingly beautiful!
What does the land of your life look like? Is it drab and devoid of the real beauty of joy and happiness? Is it desolate from lack of love? Perhaps it is even ugly because of the scars of sin and suffering. If God, through the power of His Word, transformed Planet Earth into something that was beautiful, He can do the same for you. Ask Him for an extreme make-over!
