the Burst

“The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve and strips the forests bare.” Psalm 29

from the looks of these trees, you would think they’re dead. no visible signs of life, bare branches, no sprouts pushing out.

in fact, though, they’re just resting. waiting. anticipating the BURST that’s just around the corner, when the voice of the Lord calls forth all the new life. soon we will see on the surface what’s been growing and preparing beneath the surface all during this season. this season of REST.

i believe that’s what we’re experiencing right now. a season of rest. extended rest. an opportunity for growth, deep in the hidden places of our hearts, growth that will prepare us for what’s to come.

my prayer is that we soak up all God has for us during this season.

so be still.

be quiet.

listen for His voice.

pray.

read the word.

encourage others.

take care of yourself.

continue to keep watch.

continue to wait.

in expectation.

for the BURST.

that will come.

from the inside out.
