“What if…?” Challenge #1 “What if this isn’t the end, but the beginning? #whatifchallenge.
I think my word for this season is “Disruption.” I have been receiving pictures lately of trees, falling or uprooted. I believe God is dealing with “big tree” issues… rotten roots, foul fruits,… like he did with the Amorites in an effort to cleanse and bring us into the fullness of His promises. WHAT IF God is uprooting and plucking out our old habits, wrong attitudes and mindsets to make way for a new beginning?
“But Jesus replied, ‘Every plant that my Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.'” Matt 15:13.
“If we let him — for we can prevent him, if we choose — He will make the feeblest and filthiest of us into a…dazzling, radiant, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love as we cannot now imagine. A bright, stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly (though, of course, on a smaller scale) his own boundless power and delight and goodness.The process will be long and in parts very painful; but that is what we are in for. Nothing less. He meant what he said.” C.S. Lewis.
