Ever look at a very large tree… like really look at it.
I live on this long dead-end block that is lined with very large trees on both sides of the road. I know that that’s not a very unique picture but these trees are maybe more than a hundred years old. Today, like any other day, I was passing by these trees on my walk home and after randomly looking at a tree it really sort of freaked me out. I’m not quite sure how to articulate why… but it is incredible how ginormous a tree gets over the years, steadily in that same exact spot. It’s actually still kind of freaking me out thinking about the life that’s in it - from the roots that are deeply embedded in the earth, the circumference of the trunk, to the leaves that just kind of hang out at the tips of every branch. God’s magnificence is really all around us.
Reminded me of this verse:
Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
