Thriving!

It’s amazing how quickly God begins to speak to me when I get away.  Especially when we go to the mountains.  We were driving to our vacation today and going through some mountains and Johnny said “Even on a cliff trees find a way to grow straight up”  I said “It’s cause they are growing toward the light” and we both looked at each other and said “There’s a sermon in that!”

I kept watching, noticing the details of the trees and the cliffs.  The truth was there were trees growing up between the cracks in the rocks and I had a moment where I could hear those trees saying “Hey God, why do I get stuck over here in these hard rocks while those trees sitting 2 feet away get nice soft dirt.”

Yet, even in the rocks the trees didn’t just survive they thrived!  What if we lived like those trees…always growing toward the light, thriving in whatever conditions we find ourselves in not because it is where you want to be but because wherever you are there is provision for you.
