THEE, BEING TREE

Call it fruitfulness, wholeness, wellness, or revival, this scripture leads us to appreciate that at the heart of our 'wonderful change' is the word of the LORD, elevating the soul, by way of the Spirit, to delightfully embrace it, prompting a devotion to glean of it daily, producing stability sufficient to meet all seasons.

The 'counsel of the wicked' offers an unsteady walk; unchecked by grace, one might wind up on any type of path, at ease [cozy] with our nearing adversary, his knives appearing 'nice'. Blessing, however, follows the working of the Word: "All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16,17 [MEV]. May He be as our wellspring for all liveliness, pause, and refreshing. His grace is ever right, and thorough.

Mercy birth that 'tree'... that grace reveals it wondrously.
Thee, being tree, 'be' verily from root to furthest branch,
And let thy leaves receive and yield with praiseful song and dance.
Let sway and story show belief for all of grace about,
For all of grace affixed within, with reach exceeding doubt.
Pray all remembrance build believing as you stretch above,
From deepest root to highest tip, for all the soil of love.
When all is done, if ever done, let evergreen be raised,
To laud the Lord with every leaf, each flower and all praise.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, find us as You would have us, gaining of grace, and living out love and holiness, the fragrance of Your longing. Help us to please You 'now' as we surrender our 'next' to Your perfect will... hopeful for fruitfulness, we thank You LORD-God, in Jesus' name.
Amen!
