Wildflowers

Alpine saxifrage

But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. They will declare, “The Lord is just! He is my rock! Psalm 92:12-15

(Joshua 9:1-26)

Then Rizpah daughter of Aiah, the mother of two of the men, spread burlap on a rock and stayed there the entire harvest season. She prevented the scavenger birds from tearing at their bodies during the day and stopped wild animals from eating them at night. 2 Samuel 21:10 (NLT)

1. Wildflowers make the Rock their home:

‬‬‬‬‬‬

I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. Psalms‬ 18‬:1‬-3 (NLT)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Rizpah’s struggles didn’t define her; they motivated her to action!

When David learned what Rizpah, Saul’s concubine, had done, he went to the people of Jabesh-Gilead and retrieved the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. (When the Philistines had killed Saul and Jonathan on Mount Gilboa, the people of Jabesh-Gilead stole their bodies from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hung them.) So, David obtained the bones of Saul and Jonathan, as well as the bones of the men the Gibeonites had executed. Then the king ordered that they bury the bones in the tomb of Kish, Saul’s father, at the town of Zela in the land of Benjamin. After that, God ended the famine in the land. 

2 Samuel‬ 21‬:11‬-14 (NLT)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

She was a concubine…with no royal inheritance, but she acted more like royalty than David!

Death only brings more death!

God has not forgotten His promises to you
