Wild Radish

This wild radish I found growing not far from the sea at Lytham. Less refined than its cultivated cousin from which we obtain the pink root vegetable, its colourful flowers cheered me as they swayed in the wind.

Some people are refined, polished and sophisticated; others are rough, blunt and sometimes rude. Whereas the former provide more desirable company at the dinner table, the latter are what we most need when a lesson in humility is top of the menu. God uses all sorts, not just the well-educated and the suave.

For brethren, you see your calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound the mighty things, and vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are. 1 Corinthians 1:26-28, 1599 Geneva Bible
