God is still speaking through His creation, if we are willing to stop, look, and listen.
The Baby Toes plant, is a small desert succulent with a remarkable way of surviving. In its native desert environment, much of the plant grows buried beneath the sand, while only its transparent, window like tips remain visible. These little windows allow light to enter the inner leaf so the plant can continue to live, while still being protected from the harshness around it.
What a picture of the heart.
Ephesians 1:18 says, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened.”
Just as this plant receives light through hidden windows, God calls us to live with hearts open to His light. Not merely seeing with natural eyes, but allowing His truth, wisdom, and revelation to reach the deep places within us.
The Baby Toes plant also survives in dry, barren conditions. It conserves moisture and finds what it needs in a place that looks unable to sustain life.
The desert often speaks of testing, scarcity, and wilderness seasons, yet God says in Isaiah 43:19, “I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Even in dry places, God knows how to sustain what belongs to Him.
And then, in the right season, this strange little plant produces bright, daisy like flowers that open in response to the light. What looked buried, hidden, and ordinary suddenly blossoms.
Isaiah 35:1 says, “The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.”
The Baby Toes plant reminds us that hidden does not mean forgotten. Buried does not mean dead. Wilderness does not mean abandoned.
Sometimes God does His deepest work beneath the surface, where only His light can reach.
And when the time is right, what He has sustained in secret will bloom in the light.
