The heat of the summer can be stifling. The news stations on the television and radio caution us on the ill effects of prolonged exposure to this sweltering heat and humidity. The plants in my garden would wilt and wither away if not for my daily watering. The daily watering has allowed them to ride the heat wave.
This has been a challenging summer. The heat of change can be unsettling. The economic climate and the rumor mill can have you questioning the future. When the heat of life hits us, we need daily exposure to "living water". Psalm 1 talks about a man who "delights in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither..."
The plants in my garden will bear fruit through the heat. Because their roots have been strengthened by the water. Our school will continue to bear fruit as it stays rooted in Christ. Be encouraged, the heat wave will not last and our roots go deep.
Riding the Heat Wave Together,
Sheila
