THE WORD – We were traveling last weekend and went by a nondescript house that advertised lavender.

We had gone by it before on the way to Orient Point ferry but never had time to stop. “Let’s stop this time,” I said. Of course, we had already passed it and had to turn around on the highway but how hard could it be? A quick break at this sweet little house to perhaps pick up some lavender plants and gifts to bring home.

We turned around and pulled into the driveway. Wait, there was a guy directing traffic? We followed his advice and turned left along another looooonnnng driveway. With cars parked everywhere in neat orderly rows. We kept driving with no available space to park and turned down yet another lonnnnnnggg dirt road. With more parked cars. Eventually coming to the lovely lavender fields. By then we were much too far from the original house. Took some pics and drove back out. I guess this was a popular place (on a weekday no less!) and filled with people wandering the fields and stopping at the little house/shop out front.  Yes, appearances can be deceiving. Who knew the riches hidden back behind this house? Rows upon rows of sweet, fragrant, royal purple plants…

It did make me think of the hidden riches God has for us.

From the busy road we’re on or our current viewpoint we don’t see the whole picture.

Once we turn into His will, a whole new world opens up that we didn’t see or understand before.

Sweet, fragrant, royal blessings of God!

Ephesians 3:20, Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

I’m believing God for great things this summer and for hidden riches to be revealed.

What are you believing God for? Can you imagine the riches He has in store for you?
