Do you want to be useful in the kingdom? God plants and He grows people. He uses them as He sees fit. We all should seek to be a branch of God’s planting, the work of His hands, so that He may be glorified. If we bare thorns, we better be careful, because God can and will prune, and he can uproot entire trees. But when we are planted by Him, we don’t have to be worried about being uprooted as he has established us, and He knows all things. He knows the fruit that we will bare. If we are a branch of His planting, we will be in the kingdom. It is not a question. He will use us mightily in the land. We will be His instrument. He will grow us, and get a full harvest from His investment. Don’t you want to become a branch of God’s planting?
The Balance is of God, In His Shoes
