The Pine in the Desert

If you are a reader of Presson Ponderings then you know that I am a huge fan of my husband! He often opens our Sunday night services. You can find all of our services archived at www.factv.org, and you can watch live also! Clark spends much time in prayer over what the Lord wants said at the opening of each Sunday night. So many times the Lord lays things on Clark’s heart that is directly for our family. So, I thought I might start sharing some of them. This one is from this past Sunday night, and I am so thankful that God specializes in my impossible situations!!

Do you believe that we have a God that specializes in the things that are impossible?

Isaiah 41:13 tells us.
“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”

And how is he going to do that?
Verse 18 & 19. “I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together.”

These types of trees are evergreen trees. They are not natural to the desert. The desert brings forth cactus, the bramble and thorn bush. But He says that he is going to put in the desert the fir, and pine and box tree. These trees require much water and moisture.

Verse 20 “That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.”

Now when you create, you take something where there is nothing and you make something out of it. Up to this point maybe your life has been a desert, and all that it has been generating are the things that the desert generates. But He can come in tonight and can create and plant something in your life that will never die. It will be FOREVER life!
