In the meantime, the tree just does what a tree is meant to do. It soaks up every bit of sun and rain it can get. It grows in an unforced way. Growth is simply natural. If there is good soil, and the climate is right, fruit will come.
The implication is that we need to just BE. Just allow God to do His thing. Just continue doing what Christians and pastors are supposed to do.
Simple, but reassuring.

I've found that God's word to us always is just that. Simple -- and reassuring!

His ways are past finding out!
God sends an angel to speak to a couple who drive 2.5 hours to give you and your wife a message of grace and comfort and your testimony on this forum blesses us all. Praise God!
I hope this article blesses you. http://www.oldpathsmag.com/ Scroll down to Arthur Murray's The Power of Persevering Prayer.

PP, I think that that is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!
(kinda humbles ya, that God would send an angel to someone 2 1/2 hours away to come and tell ya, He knows where you are.)
God is good to me
He is so good to me
More than this world could be
He's so good to me.
His spirit came to me
and gave sweet victory
God is so good to me
I can't complain.

This song came to my mind ....
Faithful One so unchanging
Ageless One You’re my rock of peace
Lord of all I depend on You
I call out to You, again and again
I call out to You, again and again
You are my rock in times of trouble
You lift me up when I fall down
All through the storm
Your love is the anchor
My hope is in You alone

He told me that he had been in prayer and that the Lord had brought my family and church before him. He asked if he could share a Word from the Lord with me.
He began telling me that the Lord knew right where I was at, and had not forgotten me. He told me that the Lord was going before me, even now, to prepare a great blessing.
He read my mail friends. He was mightily used in the spiritual gifts. He shared things no one else knew but my wife and I. He told me that the Lord wasn't blind, so as not to see. He said, that the Lord wasn't deaf, so as not to hear.
He had brought a basin with him, and went and filled it with warm water. He demanded to wash my feet. I was totally humiliated by this act of servitude.
When he began to wash my feet, his wife laid her hands on my very sick wife's head and began to pray for her.
I'm here to tell you the power of God came into that little church in a way I have seldom ever been privy to. The four of us wept, and sang, and praised God for over an hour.
When we were through, the man and his wife told us that they had been visited by an angel this week, and that the angel had sent them to us.

Pastor Poster,
From what I know of God...this is how he operates. Thank you for sharing this testimony...it increases your faith and that of others who are struggling...knowing that God does see and hear.
I feel Jesus in this post.
Blessings, Rhoni
