DAY 30 –

HOLY SEEDS IN STUMPS 

At times, we’re all overwhelmed by the devastation around us. A verse in the Book of Isaiah encouraged me. It talks about the destruction that was coming to the nation of Israel because of their poor decisions. But there was a silver lining in it that provided some hope. “Every tree a stump, a huge field of stumps. But there’s a holy seed in those stumps.” Everywhere I look, there are stumps. Things that once had life but were cut down because of their foolishness. At one point in my life, I was one of those stumps. I had sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind. But God, in His mercy, had planted a holy seed in my stump, and once I surrendered my heart to Jesus, life began to flourish. “Jesus, you see the stumps that we love: our loved ones, spouses, children, grand-children and friends. Rescue them God!”
