A WATERED GARDEN Open your Bibles to Isaiah, Chapter 58. In the 11th verse you will find these words . . "and thou shalt be like a watered garden." A "watered garden!" What do those words bring to your mind? It makes me think of some of the lovely gardens I have seen, with green grass, tall trees, fragrant flowers and fountains of clear, cool water. What a difference water makes to a garden! I have seen other gardens— gardens that were not watered nor cared for regularly. What a difference!——Weeds were growing everywhere; grass yellow and parched, no flowers nor shade trees. No one would want to visit a garden like this for rest and refreshment. No, God does not want our lives to be like this garden. Look at a "watered" garden! As you care for the garden and water the grass and flowers, remember that God wants your life to be like a "watered garden." He wants your life to shed a fra grance of Himself as the garden of flowers. He wants your life to bear the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23) as the trees in the well watered garden. He wants your life to rest folks who come near. I'm sure you would rather be like the watered garden than the dry parched one. Let the Lord Jesus come into your heart's garden as your Saviour. Keep your garden watered each day with the Word of God through the Holy Spirit, and your life will be fra grant and fruitful for Him, like a well "watered garden." BIBLE ARITHMETIC Multiply the number of disciples by the number of loaves of bread which the little lad gave to Jesus. Subtract the number of books in the New Testament. Add the number of years which the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness. Subtract the num ber of the chapter in John's gospel which records the story of Nicodemus, and the result will be the number of palm trees at Elim. (Check your answer with Exodus 15: 27.)
