Shade Tree Wisdom 6/21/13


       The summer solstice is here, and we enter the warm days of summer. What can one say but, “Hitherto hath the Lord led us”. It reminds me of the promise of God in Genesis 8,22” While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease”.

       We find ourselves often complaining and grumbling about the heat. Or the lack of rain, or the growth of weeds. But let’s remember, we would have little to talk about if it weren't for the weather. So be glad for the summer solstice.

The Psalmist (19) says,

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament

Showeth His handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech,

And night unto night showeth knowledge.

There I no speech, nor language, where there voice

Is not heard.” Psalm 19, 1-3.

       St. Paul begins his letter to the Romans by reminding them that “That which may be known of God is manifested in them, for God hath showed it unto them. Romans l,19.

       So, enjoy the summer, for God’s rich blessings fall on us daily in His Son, our Lord and Savior.
