At the scent of water
"For there is hope for a tree,If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant." Job 14:7-9
Water is life, water brings hope.
I immediately went to my almost dying plants with little hope and began to water it. After a few minutes, i thought i saw some difference but i wasn't so sure. An hour later, i walked back out to check and there it was! The almost dying leaves were alive again! Hope springs!
A lot of times, we tend to focus on bearing fruits that we forget that the fruits will grow if the plant is consistently watered. We ask questions about why the business is not growing, why the fruits are not out yet, why its taking so long, but the truth is most times we don't consistently water that desire for growth.
What is that thing you are trusting God for? What is that business or vision that seems to be taking so long? What is that seed sown that seems to be dying? Water it! Water it consistently and watch light break forth and fruits grow.
Watering is an action word. You water with the word of God and prayers and taking actionable God guided steps. Don't loose hope, don't lose faith, water it and watch it come alive at the scent of water!
Yours in the walk.
