Visual

Clear visual. The prophet lying on his left side for 390 days. Then turning over to lie on his right side for 40 days.

Communicating to Israel and Judah the weight of their sin. And dire consequences. Great discomfort in the coming siege.

By way of illustration.

Walk by faith

Walk by faith? No matter what’s going on around me?

Somedays, I need to breathe a deep breath. Then take that first step. 

It only takes one in the right direction to focus my heart. 

Leaving behind preconceived to-do lists. Agendas. And turning to the one thing. Abiding in Christ.

Roots

The paved path I walk most mornings is shifting. 

Lifted. Moved. Broken.  

By earthquake, flood, or foot traffic?

No. Roots of nearby trees travel underneath. Moving asphalt. Breaking through brick and stone. 

Revealing their power and hold. Eventually breaking through from underneath the surface. Disrupting my steps.

Roots disrupting.
