TOPIC: A WET WOOD 5: DEAD WOOD CAN SPROUT AGAIN
Memory Verse: Prov. 26:20
“20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.”
Bible Reading: Job 14:7
“For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that it’s tender shoots will not cease.”
Our God is Merciful in all His way. He is “The Alpha and Omega”, ” The Beginning and End” – Reve. 1:8,11. He decides and Re-decide and None can stand against His decrees, this is who our God is and even more. He forgives and forget. God does all in His power not to loose any soul to the devil except those concluded to be for the devil. The Lord will always find means of saving His children, even when we wouldn’t listen, He doesn’t give up on us easily. When we refuse to listen to His voice, He may cut us off, but, still He is waiting if we will realize ourselves and come back to Him.
Job said, “For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that it’s tender shoots will not cease.”, yes God will attend to the dry or wet wood that He cut down in anger if they will relocate their steps back to God.
Verse 9 said, “9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud, And bring forth branches like a plant.”
God is the only water that can make the wood, tree bud again. Samson was an example of a dry wood which was cut down by the Lord, when he realized his mistakes he cried to God and his wood sprout again and defeated his enemy finally.
Are you feeling God has cut you off after disobeying His instructions? May be your gifts are not glorifying God anymore or people now prefer someone else to you? It’s time to go back to God, He is the only water you need to sprout your tree back to life again. He hasn’t given up on you that’s why you are reading this Devotional today. Have you mesmerized your marriage, jilted your spouse and you feel it’s over for you? No, there is second chance for you, go back to God. May be as a child, you’ve brought shame to your parent which made them lay curses on you? Your tree can still be fruitful again, God is waiting for you, lower your pride and do the needful.
Father of all mankind, we seek for forgiveness for any reasons that might have caused you to cut us down, we plead for your Mercy today, as the prodigal son, we return to you Oh Lord, accept us and give us another chance in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
