Tulips

Scripture

Psalms 118:6-9

The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

Observation

The most common meaning for tulips is perfect or deep love. Because tulips are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, they can mean rebirth. Victorians often associated tulips with charity.

Application

My favorite VeggieTales episode is “Where’s God When I’m Scared”. I am in my forties and I still find myself singing ‘God is Bigger than the Boogieman’ when something frightens me. It is so important to remember no matter what we face, God is still there, right beside us. He will not only see us through, He will walk through with us. After all, love will always see us through and there is no more perfect love than God’s love.

Prayer

Lord, thank you for your perfect love and being so much bigger than the boogieman! ~amen
