Life – Standing Tall Over The Waters

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 14 August 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Yesterday I posted a shot of the sun rising over the waters of the small lake in Punggol Park in Singapore.

Here’s another shot of the sunrise from a different part along the small lake where you can see all these long blades of leaves standing tall over the waters, growing out of the lake, interspersed with these interesting sausage-like pods sticking up like skewered hot-dogs. :)

Although I’ve seen these plants before but unfortunately I don’t really know what they are called. Can anyone help?

But looking at these blades of leaves and pods standing straight up, tall and upright reminds me of the following words…

When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.

When we are faced with difficult times in our lives there is a great temptation to give up and maybe even to compromise values that you know are right but don’t give in. Stand firm. Don’t topple to the forces of the storm. Why? Perhaps the words of Jesus will give us an idea…

By standing firm you will gain life.
