Abiding in Christ. Walking by faith.

Winter trees

Winter trees. In crisp air at dawn. Stark. Branches bare. Empty.

The fog drifts in.

As I walk in fading darkness, I think about friends and family members who are suffering.

Standing weary. In the fog of impossible circumstances. Living with ongoing crisis. Conflict. Some with never-ending pain.

Cold and unrelenting winds whip through the lives of these loved ones.

And I ask how to pray.

What is His way for trees in winter?

Simple earthen vessels. There they are.

Wading through laws in Leviticus, I see them. In the details. Amid ritual regulations for priests, Levites, and the people of God.

In these particular earthen pots, they boil the sin offering. That only priests may eat.

Their use is short-lived in the days of the Old Covenant. Bronze bowls can be scrubbed clean. Earthenware can’t.
