If Trees Could Talk

 If trees could talk...

What would they say? They have kept many secrets and witnessed years of history.

They have been used for evil and for good.

They have built homes for cover and used to create fires to keep people warm. 

They have been used to set fires to destroy and used to end lives. 

If trees could talk...

Allegiance

Kingdom citizens, sons and daughters of God.

Where does our allegiance lie?

It should be to God and the Kingdom of God alone. 

Yes, obey the laws of the land as scripture has said. Although, a lot of those laws bear no moral compass. 

There will come a time that we will have to choose, for God I live and for God I die.

Many have split their allegiance to the flag, to political party, to our biases, to race, to ethnicity and much of the world culture. Many things that divides the body when we should be as one. 

The church body should be impacting, disrupting and drawing mankind's heart to God, as we should draw to him, daily. Our daily submission and obedience to God will shake the world around us.  

Instead, what we are seeing is that the world's culture has impacted and disrupted the church. If we focus more on seeking the Kingdom of God above all else, first. 

We'd avoid falling into the trap set by the enemy and the inner me. 

Where does our allegiance lie?

Exodus Today

In the course of time Joseph, his brothers, and all the rest of that generation died, but their descendants, the Israelites, had many children and became so numerous and strong that Egypt was filled with them.

Then, a new king, who knew nothing about Joseph, came to power in Egypt. He said to his people, “These Israelites are so numerous and strong that they are a threat to us. In case of war they might join our enemies in order to fight against us, and might escape from the country. We must find some way to keep them from becoming even more numerous.” So the Egyptians put slave-drivers over them to crush their spirits with hard labor. The Israelites built the cities of Pithom and Rameses to serve as supply centers for the king. But the more the Egyptians oppressed the Israelites, the more they increased in number and the further they spread through the land. The Egyptians came to fear the Israelites and made their lives miserable by forcing them into cruel slavery. They made them work on their building projects and in their fields, and they had no mercy on them.  Then the king of Egypt spoke to Shiphrah and Puah, the two midwives who helped the Hebrew women. “When you help the Hebrew women give birth,” he said to them, “kill the baby if it is a boy; but if it is a girl, let it live.” But the midwives feared God and so did not obey the king; instead, they let the boys live. So the king sent for the midwives and asked them, “Why are you doing this? Why are you letting the boys live?”  They answered, “The Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they give birth easily, and their babies are born before either of us gets there.” Because the midwives feared God, he was good to them and gave them families of their own. And the Israelites continued to increase and become strong.
