"You shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you desired, and blush on account of the gardens which you chose. You shall become like a terebinth whose leaves wither, like a garden that has no water." Isaiah 1:29-30
Isaiah 1:29-31 - Desire. What is a terebinth? It is like a mighty oak with broad base and many branches, a symbol of strength and it is not God. What terebinth's have you desired? Look around you, they are in plain site, what have you placed value upon and sought out. A desire is a thought before it becomes a reality, where is God at within your desires? All the other things we desire, if not from God lead us away from God. In my morning prayer, I ask the Holy Spirit to lead me into the heart of God. With God's heart, my desire is doing His will. This doesn't happen overnight but overtime my ill fated desires are replaced with what brings Him joy and peace to my heart. Examine your desires and unless from God, replace them or be ready to be cut down.

What is God saying to me: within My shade, you are well cared for, seek Me.
Dear Father, in my life You have always allowed me to seek my desires, some are filled with joy, others are filled with pain. In my journey, you are leading me into Your heart and replacing my desires with Yours. You are the giver of all good gifts and are growing our roots deep for a purpose. I thank You Father for the strength You are giving in the silence of the morning. Prayers for a family burying a child today, ease their burden Lord. Prayers for those who are scared for what ever reason, help them see Your glory and lead them into Your heart where fear can not reside. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
