HOW BLUEBERRIES GLORIFY GOD
leave it to the hottest day of the year, but my parents and i spent the afternoon yesterday on a berry farm, picking blueberries. as i crouched next to the bushes with the hot sun beating down on me, i eagerly lifted up each branch to see if there were any giant, plump, ripe blueberries hiding under the leaves. somewhere in the silence, i started thinking about how sweet and delicious they were and how i couldn’t wait until i could eat some (farm rules were that you’re only allowed to taste 2-3 berries or you’d be kicked off). and then my thoughts drifted onto God. He was the one who created blueberries in the first place. why did He choose to make them?
the thought then occured to me: Blueberries glorify God by being sweet. they glorify God by being to the fullest what they were designed for.
so now i’m thinking, i have something in common with these blueberries! we’re both created by God to glorify Him by fully being what we’re designed for. the difference, of course, is that i’m aware of this and i have a choice in who i become.
