Across the biological world, many plants exhibit some sort of heliotropism. Famously, during its budding stages, the sunflower follows the sun across the sky from east to west every day. Some grasses show this same phenomena. It is interesting that something in the plant seems to know that it needs the sun to perform the vital process of photosynthesis.
One need only to look at this occurrence to see how creation itself declares the glory of God. Perhaps we could take our cue in worship from the flowers of the field. If we would acknowledge that we need God and His Son for our very nourishment and redemption, not in a single once-for-all decision but a daily, from dawn to dusk fix of gaze.
Like the budding sunflower follows the sun, humans should in one symphonic movement to follow its Son, Christ Jesus. This is what being a person is all about, let alone being a Christian. Let us then strive to look to Christ for all things as He is our redeemer, our savior, and our nourishment all the days of our life!
