The Prophetic 'Tree'

‘Twas interpreted a “bush.”
In Truth, ‘twas a humble ‘Tree,’
looking out from holy ground
at ten cities she did see.

Elohim called to a man,
“Come stand before this, My ‘Tree,’”
and fire fell down from heaven
to dance thereupon her leaves.

When needed Words were given
and the man went on his way,
the little ‘Tree’ remained there
to hear what her God would say.

“My little ‘Tree,’ I formed you
with a purpose and a plan
to endure fire from heaven
so that I could speak to man.

Do not be afraid, My ‘Tree;’
You’re branches remain intact.
You’re bearing fruit, even now,
more than ever now, in fact."

God waters her with the Word.
Her roots drink the overflow.
She's grown now -- a 'Glory Tree,'
though, her branches hang quite low.

She looks out at her cities
and prays a little prayer,
thanking the ‘Tree’ Creator
that He chose to put her there.

Though few have known the value
of that humble, little 'Tree,'
she knows the price paid for her.
See, that little 'Tree' is

me.

Psalm 104:
2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment;

he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.

He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes winds his messengers,

flames of fire his servants.

5 He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.

I KNEW it was you, before even coming to the end! God bless you little tree, and may your branches reach out to those cities sheltering them in God's love, and may you bear enough fruit that everyone may TASTE and SEE that the Lord is GOOD! Love you, Sharon

"...is me." Wonderful. I love this poem my dear sister. It is a blessing to read what God is moving in your life. May He continue to shine through you and may you be fruitful. God bless.

Treava,
Others do see her value and her place in His Kingdom work. She is of great value. You see, she is a daughter of the king and has lifted others all along her way.

What an utterly arresting metaphor: the burning bush as carrier of His 'now' Word! And the tree is alone in the wilderness, where His word often comes most clearly. I love the picture of the holy fire dancing on her leaves. Makes it all worth it. A breathtaking piece.
