Generating A Forest of Sequoias

 

...and to make the dry tree

         flourish.

             Ezekiel 17. 24

No matter where we are,

even the most barren places,

God intends for us 

   to send down roots,

   bear branches,

   and produce fruit.

God changes the landscape

       through us,

and starts with our very own

    little patch of rocky ground,

            right where we are. 

We have only to be faithful,

growing even out of sheer rock,

in the most unexpected places,

  or amidst difficult circumstances.

Trust Me in this

      and be faithful.

God works through us

    in the most amazing places

    and incredible ways.

God brings the flourishing.

And not just for our own well-being,

because in creation

    and in God's designs,

one tree transfers resources

below ground to another.

God is generating a forest

           of sequoias.

Even here.

Even now.

O LORD,

We may not be where

         we want to be.

But You have placed us

        strategically

  for the spiritual flourishing

          of many people.

Reveal to us 

        not just what to do,

    but how to be Your people

even in this rock-hard,

   difficult desert.

Help us to never underestimate

    how You bring life to our souls.

And how You are using us

      for Your glory in this place.
