My Christmas cactus plant bloomed, yet again. Another single bloom. I’ve written about it before and thought for sure the last single bloom would be the last bloom for a good while.

But then another appeared yesterday.

Mind you, I enjoy plants but I would not say I have a green thumb. I just try hard, read up on my plants, and hope for the best.

Looking at the single bloom, I thought, “This is such a strange phenomenon” and that is when he came to mind.

Moses – He looked up and saw a bush, burning yet not consumed.

“So Moses said, ‘I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.” (Exodus 3:3, NASB)

That one turn to see led Moses to a life he could never have expected. It was the beginning of a forty year journey of faith. Each step of the way required faith, great faith, to lead God’s people in an exodus and trek to the promised land.

 It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible.
(Hebrews 11:27, NLT)

Moses persevered, kept on going, because he kept his eye on the One. He kept his eyes on the One, not permitting his focus to stray from the promises he had been given. He kept his eyes on the One who had been faithful since the beginning. He kept his eyes on the One, who had spoken to him from the burning bush.

This strange cactus plant, with its one bloom at a time activity, reminds me (and us) to keep my (our) eyes on the One. It is then we will see the One who is invisible, yet always active in our lives.

It is then we will see the One –
in nature,
in His Word, and
in our situations.

We will keep right on going because we kept our eyes on the One who is invisible!



Stories – they are enjoyed by both the listener and the storyteller. There is that special moment when the one telling the story knows the listener has grabbed hold of the point; and it makes all the difference in why we tell the story. This post, The Gift Of Telling Stories, by Laurie Hess is delightful.
