Between the Trees: October 2010

Between the Trees

It's where we're all living: between these trees {And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9)} and this one {On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22: 1-2)}.

A Little Further Along the Way

The straight and narrow path has been a tortuous climb here lately, beset by rockslides hurtling down on my head, confounded by chasms suddenly yawning before my feet. But by the grace of God, a trinity of fellow travelers, faithful friends, has come alongside to encourage and exhort, to be here with me. In His mercy, I have seen, even from these precarious places, glimpses of a far green country. Because of the Lord's great love I am not consumed.
