Some Things are Inevitable

I was walking through my neighborhood this morning and was just past this tree when something made me stop and take a step back.

As you can see from the picture this tree has already lost more than half of its leaves. But it seemed to me that this poor tree was fighting with everything to hold on to what was left, trying to prevent the inevitable even as one leaf after another broke away and fell to the ground as I watched.

And a thought came to mind, this is how we must look in GOD’s eyes in our foolish and prideful struggles to hold on to things that are useless and dead rather than yield to His will and plan to give us the Kingdom.  

Thank GOD, our Father knows who belong to Him and Whose will prevails in the end. So, He waits patiently, knowing that it’s only a matter of time before we wear ourselves out, come to our senses like the prodigals we are, let go of the rot and accept our divine fate.

Then, GOD will be right there waiting to take us into His season of rest, restoration and renewal – just as will happen with this tree.

The Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you… Isaiah 30:18

Don’t forget to turn your clocks back this Sunday!

Prayer and Thanksgiving: Heavenly Father, YOU wait to give us the Kingdom because it pleases YOU to do so, for YOUR Name and YOUR glory. We give thanks to YOU who have all dominion and power for ever and ever. In JESUS Name. Amen.

Always by God’s Word and prayer,

Cecile
