For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. – Hebrews 12:3
Ok, so I know this is going to sound a lot like my Just Keep Going post. But I think it bears repeating and these photos really had me pondering the message.
These are ancient trees.
When they reached an obstacle, they didn’t give up. They didn’t die or fall over.
Even the seeming insurmountable ones were no match for the Creator.
So when life is hard (and I know it is) don’t just keep going.
Keep Growing.
It’s important.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord
And whose trust is the Lord.
For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.” – Jeremiah 17:7-8
I’m praying for you as you overcome. <3

Dear God, plant me. Grow me and strengthen me to keep going and never stop growing. Never stop bearing fruit for You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen…

I love the encouragement to go and grow. I’ve been to where one of these photos was taken–so amazing to see these ancient trees grow around the obstacles. Visiting from 3 Word Wed. So nice to visit you again!
Amazing trees !
Funny anecdote about your song today:
Bible-class camp 1967, sitting around a bonfire on the beach singing….police appear and tell us fires are not allowed….we sang this song…we shall not be moved….and got out pics on the front of the local paper…..good little bible-class kids have a naughty streak…..we were singing it while we put out the fire and moved….but made the most of the song of the moment [ lol ]
