Hey blog has been on a brief hiatus but is returning shortly. In the mean time I am blogging cool thoughts that I come across.
"Who are we"
Psalm 80:8-11 "You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. The mountains were covered with it's shade, the mighty cedars with it's branches. It sent out it's branches to the sea and it's shoots to the river."
What an awesome thing! The vine is the Church, and God brought his people out of Egypt. At His hand he cleared the ground of the enemy or weeds that wouldn't allow the vine to grow. The deep root is Christ, He's the one who makes us strong and sturdy. He's the one who provides what we need just as the root for a vine. The branches being the believers (you and me) and because we don't rest, we are able to spread far and wide from mountain to sea to river with the news that brings rest for the tired, with living water for the thirsty.
God has made us what we are, placed us where we are, and is the root or foundation that allows us to BE who we are! We have a mighty calling on our lives to be the vine/branches rooted by Christ planted by God. Now lets walk it out and continue to grow the way He intended us to.
