Following on from our last thought ,regarding the two plants,one died one survived,I believed it is a picture of life, and especially the Christian life. We mentioned the will of God,but we must also consider the Providence of God, who is sovereign,and because He is sovereign,he is in control,and everything is in his hands,especially the lives of his dear children.When we arrive in heaven we will be astonished how God in his mercy overruled in our lives,how he kept us,protected us ,provided for us,and guided us.But what about the plant that died?,well as I said we move from plants to God's people.In Hebrews 11 v 34, we read abut those who escaped the edge of the sword,then in v 37, we have those who were stoned,and those who were sawn in two.. In Acts 12 we read how how Herod had James, the brother of John killed, we read how he also had Peter arrested,but we read how God wonderfully set him free.One plant lived ,one plant died.God was watching over both of them,such was his will,for both of them.I know a Christian couple both were facing death ,through severe illness,God healed one, the other one died.One plant lived one plant died,such is the workings of God, were does that leave us,,were we started,the challenge of having faith in our God,whose will is perfect,whose love is unchanging ,and whose faithfulness is assured, and who tells us, that all things are working together for our good. (Romans 8 v 28 )
