BULB AND FLOWER
Good Morning!!!
BULB AND FLOWER
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
October 9
Who has not at some time or other planted a bulb
and enjoyed the pleasure of waiting
for the plant to appear and develop,
and ultimately produce the glorious flower itself?
Notice here that you naturally plant the bulb
and expect the flower,
the hyacinth or the crocus, to follow.
No sane person would dream of planting the flower
and expecting a bulb to come up;
yet in our general life many of us do just that!
We expect to begin with the flower.
We think that we shall have
desirable states of mind or body—
happiness, freedom, health—
if only we can change outer conditions in some way.
Yet this is really trying to plant a flower,
because we are trying to put effect before cause.
The law of the universe is thought first,
and then expression;
and never can this law be reversed.
“Let all things be done
decently and in order”
1 Corinthians 14:40
