Tomorrow Will Bring Flowers

“Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths: All flesh shall see the salvation of God.” Luke 3:4,6

John was born amidst amazement and wonder for Elizabeth was so old. His father Zechariah proclaimed, “And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way for the Lord.” (Luke 1:76)

We too are “prophets” of God. We are called to make straight His path, to prepare for His 2nd coming. Our birth was not foretold, but each and every day, we are given a chance to bring God’s Word to life in someone’s heart. 

Sometimes we can be so pessimistic because of all the bad news but it is so much better to be the person who foretells, “Tomorrow will bring flowers!” And if someone asks why, we can answer, “Because I am planting seeds today!” If we want peace, we should sow peace. If we want more love, then we must spread love and brighten our little corner of the world. 

We do not need to foretell future events to be a “prophet” today. We need only to tell the truth, and what better truth is there to proclaim than the good news? If we plant seeds today, they will bring forth good fruit.
