As I write, I am on pilgrimage to
Israel. It’s not a vacation. It’s more
like a fast paced study tour where I’m discovering my roots. It’s the place that my Heavenly Father chose
to begin unfolding His Plan for all of creation. I’m going back to the place where God made
provision so I could become a member of His forever family. He made a way so I could be grafted into the
true vine, Jesus.
God, the Father, is the gardener. He is the master designer of what everything
should look like. He prepares the soil,
we provides the conditions for growth and He gave His Son as the means of our
salvation.
My prayer today is “Lord, help me never forget I must
depend on you as the one who prepares, sustains and blesses. Help me to realize each day that Jesus is the
gift that you gave so I could be grafted into your forever family.”
