The TREE’s Cry Out, “Amen……Even So Come Lord Jesus !”
It has always been interesting to me that mankind is continually warned to read and understand God’s Book. Yet, God says that it is His Creation, not mankind that continually groans to be rid of the curse of Sin. It is Creation that is anxiously waiting for the Second Coming of Christ.
Mankind seems to care less about the topic. Jesus questioned if there would be anyone left on the entire planet when He comes back that would be anxious for His appearing. Man, to whom God gave a mind to reason with, Man who bears the Image of His Creator…is blind, naked, and deaf and unable to see, touch or hear the words of God because of his arrogance and pride in himself and his accomplishments.
But the Creation, having not been made in the image of God, having no ability to reason, or to think…KNOW their Creator. The Creation as God Himself has said, groans bearing the weight of the curse, and anxiously awaits its removal and the recreation of a new earth promised by God.
In life the trees are wrapped in garments of leaves that God decreed would reach up to the heavens and worship Him. From the very beginning, from a seedling, the trees focus is upward to its Creator. In life trees performed their job, their role, their calling before their Creator in loving obedience.
They provided cover and homes for animals. They provided the coolness of shade, and bore fruit for mankind. They provided oxygen for the earth, so we would have an atmosphere conducive to life. And they sacrificed their very essence for the benefit of their appointed caretakers.
Yes, mankind was given dominion over the trees and over all creation by God. But the main calling of trees was to lift up HOLY hands and clap in worship to their Creator when the Holy Spirit moved them by the wind.
They know the story that is written in the Word of God. They know the story that man continues to ignore. They know its beginning because they were there. They live in hope because they know its ending as they groan and wait for their Redemption.
And they do for us what we are too ignorant to do for ourselves or for others.
They pray that our eyes would be opened and we would catch the vision of our Lord lifted HIGH up upon HIS Throne. You see God has not only planted the knowledge of Himself in each human being, but also within the trees, the birds, the animals. The knowledge of the Creator is within everything He has created.
He is Lord of the Living and Lord of the Dead.
He is Lord of the FOUND and Lord of the LOST.
Both the Eternally Living and the Eternally Dead, will bow down before their Creator by the power of the Holy Spirit and give HIM PRAISE for who HE IS.
