Attention !!! Sunflowers, standing at attention, some 20 feet tall, give the impression that they are guarding their fellow flowers. I can’t help but think this is our God calling us to stand and to guard His people throughout the world. I realize this is just a simple garden analogy blog, but the darkness through the world is painfully palpable and growing. God’s people are suffering dark, dark days. It is hard to write about the peace of my garden when there is such terror and evil all around. God is calling us to prayer for His people, prayer that they will have the Spirit’s filling and strength to stand, to speak the name of Jesus, to be protected from evil, to hear God’s voice, to walk through fire with miraculous protection, to trust God’s purposes and plans, to know they do not walk alone. Prayer is how we stand together with those enduring persecution and disasters. By lifting these to God’s throne with all of God’s Almighty power behind us, we stand at attention.
