Even the Hills and the Trees are Excited!!


The Word of God warns those living in ungodliness to make things right with God while there is still time. Proverbs 6:15 and 29:1 warn us that being stubborn can result in us suddenly finding ourselves destroyed and in a position of no return. The Lord abounds in mercy, but we need to return to the Lord while there is still time. There comes a point when judgment will fall, and there is no escaping the chastisement of the Lord.

The Word of God encourages those of us living by the Word of God to spread God's Word, as wonderful things will result!

There's a long amazing process by which the rain falls, the ground is watered, the planted seeds sprout, plants come forth, crops provide the means to make bread for food, and also provide more seed to be planted so that the process can start all over again.

In much the same way, the Holy Spirit works, people's hearts are touched, the Word of God that has been shared with people effects change in them, people are born into the family of God, new Christians break forth and grow in Christ, and they share the Word of God, and the whole process keeps going.

It is a long, but beautiful and amazing process, and we, God's people must go out to live for God and share His Word with joy, and be led by the Holy Spirit of peace.

If all creation could, the very mountains and hills and trees would break forth in praise at the sight of this awesome process! The mountains and hills and trees are aware of the wonder and beauty of the rain watering the ground, and seeds bringing forth new life. How much more wonderous is the beauty of the Spirit watering man, and the Word of God bringing forth new life. AND WE ARE PART OF ALL THIS!

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.
Isaiah 55:6-12

Can you hear the mountains and hills singing and the trees clapping? REJOICE OH CHRISTIAN, REJOICE!!

Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
