Did you know that the Bible says that a tree can grow again at the mere scent of water? Even if it is just a stump that is rotting and dying in the earth? I may have shared a bit about this before, but today it struck me as being important for someone to hear. Maybe that someone is me. Maybe it is you. But anyway, here it is.
Job 14:7-9
7“At least there is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not fail.
8 Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump die in the soil,
9 yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put forth shoots like a plant.
I’m on my way to see the movie, “The Shift.” It’s supposed to be a modern-day retelling of the story of Job. So, I’m eager to see how it lines up with all that I’ve been thinking about these days. Usually, I’ll get a bit of inspiration from the movies I see, and I’m anticipating there will be a lot to think about after seeing this one. I’ll follow up with a review of the movie and some more insights into the verse I just shared. For now, remember that there is always hope. No matter how bleak a situation may appear. God’s got you.
