In the shadows of the Lord

I love how God can use anything in His creation to minister to you.  As I was driving home from taking Caden to school this morning. I saw two HUGE beautiful green lush trees side by side, and in the shadow of the trees was another small fragile tree.  This reminded me of Jesus sitting at the right hand of the Father, and we are seated at the right hand of Jesus.  We are in the shadows of his grace and mercy and love. He shields us from the sun, and even in a season of drought we will not wither because we are in his shadows.

"And he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit" Jeremiah 17:8

In your season of drought, hold onto the word in Jeremiah 17:8 and know that you are in the shadows of God's care. Go forth no matter how hot it gets and bear fruit in this season because you are still in the care of the Lord.
