To begin a beautiful garden bed of daisies that is quite bountiful you must support it by watering and tending to it.
Take your eyes off the varieties of weeds in life and place your eyes on hope, trusting in the plans of our Lord. For as it says in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Isn’t that just marvelous?! Certainly it is easy to become unnecessarily discombobulated with unplanned trials, but hold strong, for we can find rest by being at ease with the Lord. He has a future that is all planned out (however, not always the way we think it should go).
How exciting it is that God knows what He is doing! We can not get too preoccupied that sometimes our plans do not always correlate with His. However, that just means we need to learn to trust God more just as the daisies trust the gardener to cultivate them.
It takes patience to watch your daisies grow, similarly, it takes time to learn how to rely on God.
Just like a garden doesn't pop up instantly, your trust in the Lord is also a work in progress. Don't get discouraged by the weeds of life, grab hold of the Bible and Jesus who will supply comfort and peace.
