The Myrtle Trees!
A symbol of purification and new Birth?
Many people confuse this purple flowering tree with Myrrh which is a sweet smelling gum, but this tree is far different and is a symbol of hope and victory over the evil of the nation, land that cannot prevail in the power of God!
The tops of the trees are ruffled and continue to be today as the Holy Spirit is moving to bring souls to salvation across the world, they may not as yet flutter here again, but the conditions are rife for the blessings to come?
Isaiah 55:13, John 3:3, 14-21, 14:27,

God is our Canopy!
He is our refuge in our times of Need?
The world is always trusting in themselves, in what they can and have achieved and they laugh at us thinking we are stupid, more a reflection of their own attitudes?
But we who have faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus know that our God is a canopy over us and a refuge in our times of need!
Isaiah 4:5-6, 25:4, Revelation 7:15.

Scavage!
Old habits die Hard?
Generally most people in the world who are settled do not understand why travelling peoples have to scavage, but perhaps they should take note of people across India and Africa, who need to make money to buy food!
There is much brass in muck and with this consumer age of waste, much to be reclaimed and sold on in scrap from white goods to computer parts and much that can be recycled?
Genesis 41:33, Nehemiah 4:2, Job 27:16, Matthew 7:8, Luke 14:35. Philippians 3:8.

The abundance of the Heart!
Comes good and Evil?
Jesus tells to us that good cannot come from evil and that we will be known by our fruits!
This is quiet a challenge for all of us who share the Lord, when we can, but it is also about having good fruit and not allowing the enemy to steal it from us?
Evil people cannot serve God, but we have to warn them of their eventual destiny and bring them to repentance, it is not easy to speak to them, neither is it easy to speak and share with the weeds in our fellowships who refuse to serve?
Matthew 12:33-34, Luke 6:44-45, John 1:4-5.

Our need to Witness!
It does not matter what people think of us?
The many people who hate travelers are the walking dead, cold to sympathy and that even to their own, they also are probably mean as they think that they are good living!
But as believers we have a responsibility to share our faith with all without bias and the benefits are in the Eternity for us, but to captures a soul also has its blessings on this side too in helping us to be in serving our Lord Jesus?
Proverbs 3:18, 11:30, Daniel 12:13, 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, James 11:20.

Please Leave?
The cause of Fear!
For many a traveler to be asked to leave a place is nothing strange and here in the New Testament of the Holy Bible we have one instant in which Jesus is asked to leave! Matthew 8:34.
And in the other the Apostle Paul is also asked to leave, after they witnessed the power of God manifested! Acts 16:39.
Many believers who have parked up in their respective vehicles have been asked by scared people to move on, if they overstay their allotted time on the other hand people fear robbery, or being attacked?

Good fruit and bad Fruit?
The rot within Ekklesia!
Being a born-again Christian is more than going to Church, it is about producing fruit and if we are not walking with God throughout the week we will not be laying seeds to create fruit?
But if we are witnessing and sharing you Lord in our lives, work, relaxing then souls will be saved and thus good fruit!
There are many that we may fellowship with, who are imposters and not what they claim to be, but cause more of distraction than help in the life of Ekklesia and of New believers also!
Matthew 7:15-19, 12:33, Luke 6:43-44, Jude 1:12.

Jonah’s Anger!
Not wanting to share the Good News of Repentance?
Runaway Jonah did not get what he wanted and at the end he lead his enemies to faith in God, the story has a par with what Netanyahu is doing to the Hamas in the Gaza strip, while avoiding his corruption charges!
But God was merciful to Jonah giving him shade and then taking it away because he had lost joy in his mission of how quick the enemy had repented and he did not see their destruction?
We too can be in the same boat of hate and wanting our enemies destroyed removed and so on, but we must learn to obey the Lord and have compassion on all as Jesus had too!
Jonah 4:1-11, Matthew 15:32, Luke 15:20.

Easter!
Waiting for the Fulfillment of all Things?
Many will make it something for the children this Easter with egg hunting and parties, others will see the religious side of it, going to Church and enjoying all the ritualism, while other will take time to reflect on what God-Jesus has done for them!
As believers we should know were we stand with the Lord and are in these ever increasing times await the sudden return of the Lord and to see our Savior as the fulfillment of everything in the Son of David and the bright morning star gathering us to him and the air!
So we still have the daylight to share him with everyone that we meet and we should no be embarrassed either?
John 3:14-21, 4:23-24, Romans 5:8-9, Philippians 3:13, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26-27, 10:10, 15, Revelations 3:20, 5:5, 22:16.

A time to Come!
The in gathering of the Nations?
On the eve of the events of Easter let us ponder on times ahead for the believers at the end of the ages, when in the rule of Jesus that nations will be gathered to Him!
The promise is one of many long standing ones, that will eventually be fulfilled, as promised in the now generally abandoned Book of Revelation and false ideas that God is finished with Israel, because He is not?
Isaiah 11:10, 49:20, Roman 15:12.
