Oak Tree

Isaiah 1:30

You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water.

Oh God, You teach me to see-

So many things about life, its storms, from my Oak tree.

My tree stands alone, solid, tall.

Other trees have not weathered the storms.  They fall.

 

Once this mighty oak was a seed.

It was only the size of a small bead.

But when it fell to the ground

It was buried in the dirt; new life it found.

 

Roots developed and began to spread.

A shoot sprang up from what once seemed dead.

As the years passed by-

The tree grew like a blink of an eye.

 

The droughts came-

It went through long periods without rain.

The roots pushed down.

Digging deeper until moisture and nutrients were found.

 

The winds blew strong-

But the tree remained anchored in the ground.

It grew-standing tall as a tower.

Reminding that God is Mighty; filled with Power.

 

See God in nature. Look around.

He is everywhere; His love abounds!

He shows up everyday.

Take a moment to “Be still. Watch and pray.”

 

When you seek Him, He will be found.

His deep love will always abound!
