God Reflected in the Water

“And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2

Water heals, refreshes and brings life. Water can also destroy. Water reflects…look into the water and see God’s creation mirrored upon the surface. Look deeper and you will see a small reflection of God himself-His power to heal, refresh and to give life. There is also the great mystery of God which no man can understand and when God destroys it is not always for us to know why but to trust in His unfailing love and His perfect plan. He is working all things for the good of those who love Him(Romans 8:28). Thank You, Father for water and the life giving lessons it brings

A Tree of Righteousness

“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” 1 Corithians 16:13

Beside the river behind my house stands a tree whose roots run deep into the waters that flow there. For years it has stood through many a storm, buffeted by winds and waters that flood. The tests of time and the elements have proven over and over the strength of this tree whose roots run so deep into the river that flows. How i pray that i could be more like this tree.

Beside the streams of Living Water i want to stand with roots that drink deeply of the Flow. When the storms of life do come i will stand firm because my faith is in YOU. YOU will be my strength and my courage will come from YOU alone.

Lord, make me a tree of righteousness that others might see and come to the River too!
