Be like a cactus!
I saw an inward picture of a cactus, standing strong in a desert.
Did you know that a cactus is able to have normal leaves, but they adapt with spines (modified leaves) in the desert to minimize water loss?
It also performs transpiration at night to reduce water loss.
Cacti are classified as “succulents” because they have thickened, fleshy parts to store more water.
Cacti have an extensive root system that don’t go very deep into the ground because most of the groundwater is on the upper layers due to rain. There are hardly any underground stores of water in the desert.
In a hot desert, most plants cannot survive the harsh, dry climate, but a cactus is able to survive and thrive.
It is adaptable, absorbent, attractive (can produce flowers), and able-bodied (the spines fend off predators). Truly an amazing plant that can live where most creatures cannot.
If we look at the cactus as ourselves, water as the water of God’s word, and the hot desert as this world, then we will understand this faith picture that God has for us.
God wants us to store up water and retain it efficiently just like a cactus. A cactus is designed to maximize water gain and minimize water loss.
In this world that prides itself on its own knowledge, rejecting the kingship of God, we must be like a cactus that finds every opportunity to receive God’s word.
You can retain it better when you meditate on His word. Keep it in your heart, and think about it often. This way, you will take in more, and lose less of it.
“They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough. When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child. All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.” (Luke 2:16-19 WEB)
Mary did exactly this. When others heard the good news about Jesus, they only wondered at it, but Mary kept these sayings, pondering them in her heart. She was like a cactus and retained the water.
“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.” (Psalms 91:7 WEB)
“For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:8 WEB)
In a desert whereby living creatures who cannot adapt just die of thirst and starvation, you will not. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. You shall not even fear the heat when it comes because you are full of God’s word, unceasingly fruitful in every season!

Heaven Points to Jesus
“Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men. The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying. Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.” They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word. As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.” (Matthew 28:1-9 WEB)
It is interesting how unbelievers are scared of angels. Just one dazzlingly bright angel was enough to cause a great earthquake, roll away the huge stone from the front of the tomb, and scare the Roman soldiers until they fainted.
It must be the sin consciousness that causes them to be afraid of divine punishment.
On the other hand, the women who came to see Jesus’ body did not faint upon seeing the angel. Their slight fear was only from not knowing who this being was. Being with Jesus made them bold and acquainted with the supernatural.
“For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.” (Psalms 91:11-12 WEB)
Every day, these mighty angels guard us in all our ways, protecting us from harm. We don’t have to fear men when they will faint upon seeing our heavenly bodyguards.
And of course the passage doesn’t end with an angel because our focus has to be the commander of angel armies.
Jesus appeared and the women took hold of His feet, worshipping Him. They didn’t worship the angel, and the angel’s message was all about Jesus.
Jesus—the one that heaven proclaims. Let’s worship Him, for He is risen and alive forevermore!

Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
Mary went, Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
He followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
He followed her to school one day
Which was against the rule
It made the children laugh and play
Laugh and play, laugh and play
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school
And so the teacher turned him out
Turned him out, turned him out
And so the teacher turned him out
But still he lingered near
And waited patiently
Patiently, patiently
And wai-aited patiently
Til Mary did appear
Why does the lamb love Mary so?
Why does the lamb love Mary so?
Mary so?
Why does the lamb love Mary so?
The eager children cry
Why Mary loves the lamb you know?
the lamb you know, the lamb you know
Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know
The teacher did reply
Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
