I, the Lord, am its keeper; every moment I water it. Lest anyone punish it, I keep it night and day. Is.27.3 ESV
It comforts me to know that God the Father is the Gardener who tends to the vineyard. We are not some wild vine growing aimlessly, but one under His tender care and direction. This gives purpose and meaning to everything in life. God keeps us as much in the dark night as He does in the day when all is bright. Jesus left us this imagery the night He was betrayed. When we consider all the good that has come from that dark night, we can rest assured that God working all things for good in our nights of trial. He keeps us both night and day. Days are promised to us as well as seasons of night. We may fully expect to see the warmth of the sun on our face. The Gardener fully intends His vineyard to bear fruit and every thing He does in our lives is to produce it. What He is doing right now, this very day He is doing for that purpose. He waters us every moment with all grace. 12/24/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
