How Good You Are


"Then the Lord God provided a vine and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the vine." Johan 4:6


You have blessed me in mighty ways, Lord. While I sweat and toil and whine and cry and rebel against possible discomfort, You are shaping something new and wonderful in my life. It will grow out of this situation, and it will gain strength from my weakness. This new creation will wind its way around the framework of days and blossom with fragrant fruit.


I stand beneath this vine of goodness and abundance, and my eyes are shaded from the sweltering sun. I can now see the horizon ahead of me.
