Too Many Weeds?
a: God of israel ~
b: like a gardener
What: "Yahweh, the God of Israel, is like a gardener. This is an image used in Isaiah and Jeremiah. Walter Brueggemann writes that this is a "metaphor of sustenance," and there are a handful of others in the prophets - potter, shepherd, mother, and healer. Like a gardener God both cultivates and plucks up."
