Ordained plan

Ordained plan. From the beginning. 

But religious leaders of the day were not picking up on God’s Word revealed. Prophecy fulfilled.

They just heard what Jesus said. And knew without a doubt by His choice of words: this rabbi, with his ragtag followers, was claiming to be God.  

Blasphemy. 

And they were furious. Deadly furious. 

He would not be tolerated.

Shepherd feet

Shepherd feet make paths. Up hills and through fields. As shepherds do what shepherds do.

Tending flocks. And keeping watch. Under sun and stars and moon. Alert for thieves and predators. Protecting the sheep.

And little do they know. Their ordinary feet are about to change. Into the extraordinary. 

Beautiful feet.

River of life

Living water flows out through the east gate. In Ezekiel’s vision.

Getting larger. Deeper. The further he walks. 

Fruitful, leafy trees line this ever-growing river of life. Providing for the needs of the people.

And revealing what’s to come.

River flowing through a city. 2023.
