Hidden In God

Vision
While I was standing in some type of dark cave, I saw a small tree with very green leaves through the opening of the cave. In all directions around the tree stood a tall rock structure (about 20-30 feet high) that kept anything from getting to the tree. As I looked at the tree, I understand that there could be no rock covering overhead due to the fact that the sun was shining brightly on it. It also looked well watered and shined very brightly from the sunlight. As I stood staring at the tree, trying to understand what I saw, I heard the Lord say, "Bare good fruit." Immediately after hearing this, I watched the tree begin to grow at a very quick pace, eventually outgrowing the rock structure surrounding it. Once it surpassed the height of the rocks surrounding it, the branches on the tree, along with it's leaves quickly grew out and became much more substantial then they were before. Once the tree was no longer hidden, birds came and lofted in its branches.

The Lord likened those at our church, and those who are God's, like unto that tree. We have been hidden for a season, being fed by the Lord (rain and sun) without anyone knowing that we were there. He continues to feed us, allowing us to shed the dead leaves until we are brightly glowing in all that He has given us. Now is the time to bare good fruit. As we are obedient to this and continue to live our lives in humility before God, He will cause us to grow into all that He has called us to be.

With love in Him,
