Off the Beaten Path

Sometimes, Christians are so cocooned inside four walls that they do not discover the tremendous value of God's second textbook, nature. If you travel trough Thailand, a really captivating get-away is Pa Hin Ngam National Park, located about 3.5 hours drive from Bangkok in Chayyapum Province. The Park receives hardly any attention from tourists and you do not run into the hordes of visitors like other better known parks. However, in the month of July, the rich green grass is dotted with beautiful pink Dok Kra-jiao (Siam Tulips). These are wild flowers which bloom only once a year. A

day spent in the midst of such natural beauty reminded me of Jesus' advice that we ought to consider the wild flowers of the field when we are stressed by life's demand. So take time off the beaten path and consider the marvel of God's creation. Your energies will be energised in unbelievable ways. God bless!
