The ACORN - and our belief

 Good morning all. Yes, it has been 3 weeks since you last heard from me. I do apologize.  

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!!

  Thus we must not forget.

Our belief!!  How strong is it?  You know the mighty oak started out as a little nut we call the ACORN.  Is your relationship and belief in GOD doing the same?

  The ACORN is a sign of prosperity and good luck.  Well, in the Christian world we know there is no "Good Luck", but rather "GOD's in Control".  

  The acorn/oak symbolied in the Bible represents God's promise.  The best is yet to come and we need to hold on to HIM and let go of our finite understanding.  God sees and knows all, past, present, and future.

  The Acorn is seen as a symbols of growth and unlimited potential.  THIS WE ALL HAVE WITHIN US! 

   However, so often we let what we know push us back, and forget to hold on to GOD for our guidance.  One acorn can grow into a massive tree, and so may our belief.  We have had many "Big Oaks" spiritually before us - C.J. Lewis, Spurgeon, Billy Graham, and many more.

  The Big Oak is considered  a symbol of strength, morale, resistance and knowledge.

  Where do you sit right now, today, in the faith of the Father?  Dependence on HIM or yourself?

  Should we all be as the Oaks of Bashan - known for its rich pastures and thick forests?  It was also the great granary of the Roman Empire.  Much is said about the Oak in the Bible, AND, the Oak is found all around the world.  This is what we must do, spread the gospel to all in the world.

Isaiah 2: 13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan; 14 and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up; 15 and upon every high tower, and upon every fortified wall; 16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant sights.  17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,

  Well, I do hope all this makes sense to you.  I have been just the seed of an Acorn lately, failing to germinate.  However, God is moving me to be strong, germinate, and go forth.  May HE do the same for you.  Sorry it has been so long.  Thanks for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
