Here in my home city – there is a local group of master gardeners (a groups I aspire to join one day). They host classes on gardening and show off their gardens to other gardeners. But even Master Gardeners of West Texas pale in comparison to The Master Garden. And we’ve come the last few days of our study on God the master gardener and the lessons we can learn from Him.
We’ve learned the importance of:
🧑🌾 Relying on God to teach us how to garden.
🧑🌾 Making sure we belong to God’s garden.
🧑🌾 Cleaning out of lives of sinful practices
🧑🌾 Sowing the seeds of God’s garden.
🧑🌾 Pulling out the weeds that try to infiltrate our life.
🧑🌾 Filling our cleaned out garden with the right plants.
🧑🌾 Working hard to garden for God.
🧑🌾 Watching out for the return of weeds aka the sins that try to creep back into our life.
🧑🌾 Prepping the soil for God’s seeds to grow.
The list goes on and go. God has so much to teach us through the analogy of gardening.
But we are going to close out the month exploring the four gardens of God mentioned in the Bible and what those gardens mean to us. It is of no coincidence that these four gardens (three physical and one spiritual),
summarize, and emphasize the entire Bible story and God’s plan for humanity. God is a gardener afterall. The Bible begins with God gardening so of course He chose gardens as the location for the most important moments in the Scriptures.
We will explore the:
🌺 Garden of Eden.
🌹 Garden of Gethsemane.
🌻 Garden of the Empty Tomb.
🪻 Garden of Paradise.
God is the master gardener. He plants gardens by the river and grows mighty trees within them. He knew exactly the purpose of each of His gardens and carefully tended them so that they would grow and flourish.
Let’s learn from the Gardens of God so we can grow closer to Him. #lessonsfromthemastergardener
