“Flowers on the Wall” is a song made famous by American country music group, The Statler Brothers. Written and composed by the group’s original tenor, Lew DeWitt, the song peaked in popularity in January 1966, spending four weeks at No. 2. I’ll mention one stanza to give you an idea of the uselessness of the life mentioned in the song.
Counting flowers on the wall, that don’t bother me at all
Playing solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do
When God placed Adam in the garden, he gave him a job to do. That was to dress it and keep it. Adam certainly failed in the second part of the responsibility.
God didn’t save us to be a wallflower or a potted plant. His desire is that we work out what He has worked in.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
Don’t be like Adam and fail to keep what God has given you to do. You will suffer if you are negligent and so will many others because of you.
Give it some thought.
