A Series from the Psalms
I welcome the idea of strength and softness.
I welcome the unfolding within me as I watch the hibiscus bloom after its cold winter’s nap.
Fun Fact: Hibiscus flowers typically bloom for only one day before they fall from their stem.
Hibiscus.
Crinkly yet soft.
Bursting with color.
Their trumpet-shaped blooms flutter in the wind,
swaying on slender stems,
lifting toward the light as if to give us all a hug.
Hibiscuses are mid-to-late risers. They bloom early in summer until the first frost. Tropical in nature, they grow in a wide range of shades of white, pink, red, yellow, and orange. And they attract butterflies and hummingbirds, filling gardens with beauty and delight.
God is within her, she will not fall. — Psalm 46:5
Hibiscus mirrors our souls. As we rise each morning, we are like hibiscus—soft yet strong, bold yet tender. We choose to stand in the light and move into the day with courage, trusting that God is forming resilience within us.
Hibiscus reminds us that faith is not fragile. It is rooted. It is steady. It is the quiet strength that holds us when life feels hot and heavy.
May you feel God’s strength rising gently within you.
May you breathe deeply and trust Him to give you the courage and resilience you need for each new day.
