AFTER THOUGHTS AND QUEEN ANNE’S LACE

Lately I have become abundantly aware of the vast amount of Queen Anne’s Lace that is all around. At first I really didn’t think much of it but over the course of a few weeks I realized that Holy Spirit may be leading me to something that I needed to pay attention to. This led me to look up what natural uses there are for the plant; this is a common practice for me because I have learned that God in His infinite wisdom gives us what we need for our health and wellness. What I found about Queen Anne’s Lace is that it was used in times past for a contraceptive; a ‘morning after’ remedy and it was also used for a hangover, another ‘morning after’ remedy. This seemed kind of interesting to me but still didn’t turn on any bright light bulbs; that is until today. As I was traveling done some long country roads; again seeing much of this lovely plant along the road and in the fields, the bright light bulb finally turned on. I am not saying that I am slow in my thought process; God made me a ‘processor’ and a ‘deep thinker,’ which leads me to think about things for a while before the message is revealed to me.

The realization that I came to is that the Queen Anne’s Lace is representative of where we; as a people, are right now. We make many small decisions; maybe not realizing the big impact down the road, until we get to the’morning after’ and want to undo what we have already done. We want a remedy that will reverse the decisions that we wish we would have gone a different route on. I will let you think on that and see where God takes you with it.

God is a gentleman and He will not make His people choose Him but at some point; when we get to the time where we are looking for the ‘morning after’ remedy for our faith, it could be too late if we wait too long. I hope that you will choose God now; everyday! and be a people that help others to choose God now so that there will not be a regret.

Another way of looking at this; as I type these words, is that Jesus is our ‘morning after’ remedy. The reality of life is that there has been sin in the world since Adam and Eve choose to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. With some of the decisions that we make ourselves, we do the same. Praise God that He has made a way for us through the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus. Praise God that we can be redirected in our earthly life from the decisions that we regret through our ONE decision to accept and receive Jesus as our Savior.
