The NE monsoon came with a vengeance in the beginning of 2025. Temperature went below 24 degrees because it rained incessantly for 3 days.
Today 14/1/25 ,finally the sun peeped behind the clouds this morning. A rainbow was also captured by a friend ! From Toa Payoh!
Reflections:
I was fascinated by the cable ties and the poles as I saw the trees this morning !
The concept of trees cabling ( flexible ties) and bracing ( solid poles) to stabalise the growing trees reminded me of “Reliance”.
Spiritually, all of us need to rely or lean on someone for support. The best support is found in our Lord Jesus Christ. People can fail us. But not our Heavenly Father from above.
Besides this, our spiritual growth too needs cabling and bracing at times. Without them, we may be go slanted! Especially when we are young believers. However as we age, we may at times experience some fractures or weakness due to sickness. Hence we still need the support. Who is this provider of the strong support? Jesus Christ - is still that still support. To straighten us to grow upright!
May we become like the trees of righteousness planted by the waters, growing up , being fruitful in all that we do & glorifying our Lord. Amen
