roses on weathered wood

There is something profoundly beautiful about this picture.

A bouquet of delicate pink roses

 tied with a satin ribbon 

thrown down on a weathered walkway 

to the beach.

I desire to pick up these flowers,

take them home,

put them in my grandmother's vase,

place them where they

can be seen and enjoyed by all.

I think about the beauty of God's word

thrown down here

into this world of sin.

God,

the God of the universe,

the creator and sustainer of life,

actually wrote a book for us.

The beauty of the words in

 His book

outshine any words

 that have ever been written.

What will we do with this thing of great beauty?

Will we leave it lying on a shelf

covered in dust,

or will we pick it up,

place in an accessible place,

then read and treasure it every day?

Hopefully,

the Bible

 holds a place of great worth in your life.

Read and study it daily....

doing so will make you wise.
