Two deer passed by on the lawn this morning.  I watched them quietly to see what they would do with the garden.  The “mom” stopped at the peach tree to nibble a few leaves.   Both of them sniffed at the tomato plants.  But nothing was disturbed.  Ok then.  No fence for the garden this year.

Later I heard some splashing in the creek behind the tree line.  And it came to me how this experience is like that of men.  We are considered as trees.  The water is the true life within us.  And we often hear noises from the things which play in the water.  We can’t see what makes the noise, though we listen with all our might.  We know there is life behind what we can perceive by the sounds men make.

What a beautiful revelation to the heart to remember that it is God who works in us to will and to act according to His good purposes.  It is not up to man to create the will of God among us.  It is He who comes to us unseen and unperceived.  The result is an enjoyment of good things born of the Spirit of God in this corrupt world.

May God grant understanding to all who read this post.
