A Display of His Splendor
The more I ponder the idea of sinking deep roots in the Lord, the more I’m convinced that the best soil for growing fruitful lives is the Word of God. This morning the kids and I read from Genesis 1 and marveled at how God’s WORD created the world. God’s voice did what even a master artists’ hands could never accomplish: He made beauty from emptiness, something from nothing. No wonder the Apostle Paul reminds us that God’s word is ACTIVE and ALIVE. May that be the soil that transforms me -and my children-from a fledgling seedling to an “oak of righteousness.”
Years ago, I penned this prayer. It is still the cry of my heart…
Today’s Treasure: “…They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” -Isaiah 61:3
