Emotions and Lilies

Thursday, March 16, 2023

The word in Hebrew is Shoshanim. It is a pretty word. It means lily. The Lord said consider the lilies of the field; they don't spin, they don't labor, yet Solomon in all his glory wasn't dressed like these. We should consider lilies, be more like them. They don't worry. God is going to take care of them. Lilies are stable. Lilies are rooted. Lilies are solid. They are at peace. They don't toil because they have roots. They don't worry because they have roots. The Bible says pray and you become rooted and grounded in love. If you want to be stable, you have to have roots. Do you want to have a life of beauty like a lily? Have peace like a lily? Have splendor like lily? Well then, get rooted like a lily. Get really rooted in the things of God, in the Word of God, in the joy of God, the love of God. Get your thoughts rooted. Get your emotions rooted. With that you can be as peaceful and as beautiful as a lily.
