Do you like these?

Do you love wildflowers? California Poppies are seriously POPPING right now!

They’re only around for a short time, but they are worth the drive, the hike or the ride to see them. Our own Simpson Park in Hemet is getting filled with them, especially on the South side.

These flowers remind me of a powerful truth Jesus talks about in His sermon on the mount. If nothing else, He reminds us all just how much God loves us and cares about us! Our only logical response is to PUT HIM FIRST!

“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.” (Matthew 6:30-33 MSG)
