A Series from the Psalms
I welcome the strength of the morning,
which gives me the energy to rise and heed what I am called to do.
Hibiscuses respond to light.
When exposed to bright sunlight, they open and draw pollinators.
There is something sacred happening there–a quiet exchange between creation and Creator, a kind of internal dialogue written into the bloom itself.
Psalms 46 says, “God is within her, she will not fall.” In this Psalm, “her” refers to God’s people — the people of faith.
This verse reminds us that God is our grounding. We may feel the heat of the day, the weight of responsibility, or the ache of uncertainty, but we do not stand alone.
Like the hibiscus, we can turn toward the light, trusting that God holds us upright.
Like a hibiscus waiting for the right moment to bloom, we wait for God’s hand to gently point the way.
We are resilient people.
We stretch toward the light,
reaching for the courage to be fully present.
God meets us where we are.
Opens our eyes.
Steadies us.
No pressure.
No expectation.
Just an invitation.
To be more Christ-like.
Hibiscus teaches us that strength unfolds slowly. Sometimes it looks like softness that stays open. Sometimes it is simply the courage to bloom again after a long winter’s rest. God meets us in these moments — not demanding perfection, but inviting us to trust the strength He places within us.
May you feel God’s strength on your journey.
May you trust that God will gently guide you where you need to go.
