1 Corinthians 8:6 states, "Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live." Where there is God, there is life.
We have been studying the Prayer of Jabez again, and this is a "we" and not just me relaying lessons. And the blessings and observations have skyrocketed! A while back, we lost a 225+ year-old oak that the ants had taken out. We dealt with the mess, and the ants moved on... to the next weak spot, a prime cherry tree. We first noticed the ants this summer; with no barriers in place, they tried to infiltrate my home.
Not happenin' sweethearts!!
The exterminator was called, and he treated the colony to dispatch its satellite cells in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, irreversible damage was done and the cherry actually has a buyer who is happy to create new life out of it, albeit in a new plan.
So much about this entire tree scenario smacks of current affairs. I am grateful to have a God who has instilled in me that He is the author of all my stories.
