Tuesday
Read Ezekiel 17:22-24
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“I will take the top of a tall cedar
and break off a tender sprout;
I will plant it on a high mountain,
23 on Israel's highest mountain.
It will grow branches and bear seed
and become a magnificent cedar.
Birds of every kind will live there
and find shelter in its shade.
24 All the trees in the land will know
that I am the Lord.
I cut down the tall trees
and make small trees grow tall.
I wither up the green trees
and make the dry trees become green.
I, the Lord, have spoken. I will do what I have said I would do.”

Think
Ezekiel tells a parable about the future. God will take the tiniest, weakest looking
branch from the upper reaches of a tall tree.
That tiny, weak branch will one day tower as a great cedar.
Pray
Lord thank you that you make small things
great. And you have the power to make
great things small.
