Early this morning I went for my regular walk. In one of the yards I passed were some yellow wildflowers about seven inches tall. The blooms on the flowers were a beautiful, pale yellow. I noticed the bloom on one was cocked to the right. Looking again, all of the flowers were cocked to right (east) facing the rising sun. I know this is not a new discovery, but it still intrigues me! I turned completely around to look at the yard as a whole and all those little pale yellow flowers had their blooms completely turned the same direction as a well-trained army with their eyes on the commander.
I was reminded again (and actually this makes twice this week) that we need to “preach the gospel to ourselves” at the beginning of every morning. We, too, should be like these little flowers with our eyes on the Light from Whom we get our direction and power for the day. “Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith…” Hebrews 12:2
