Daily Snippets on God’s Blessings – Vegetation

Biologists estimate there are 23,000 different types of trees around the world. They also suggest there are 223,000 different types of flowers and 4,000 varieties of vegetables. God’s blessings are overwhelming! God gave these all to us because he loves us and wants us to enjoy his marvelous creation. Jesus once pointed to a lily and said that not even wealthy King Solomon in his finest robes could compare with its beauty. God had a purpose behind this marvelous creation. Think of the many ways we use vegetation in our daily lives. There is no end to the wisdom, power, and majesty of God. The next time you see a flower, a tree, or even a simple blade of grass, stop and consider the wonder of God’s creation and then thank him for being so good and gracious.

Digging deeper:

Read Isaiah 41:19,20. See the creating hand of the Lord.

 Today my prayer includes . . .

          thanks for this special blessing:

          concern for this special person:

          petition for this special problem:

 A closing verse:

Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. 

He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell

How great is God Al­migh­ty, who has made all things well.

Cecil F. Alexander
