Like Giant Green Pom Poms

 

Good day! I’m Duane Matz and this is Today’s Living Word.

 

Ro 8:21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

 

Can you picture it? Creation, finally set free from the curse of the sin of Adam and praising God!

 

In January of 2001, the Parachute band came out with a song called “All the Earth” Some of the lyrics went like this:

All the earth will declare That Your love is everywhere
The fields will exalt Seas resound,

Hear the trees, joyful cry Praising You and so will I,

 

What a great chorus for those who have been set free from sin!

 

Fast forward to today. This has been an extraordinary summer weather wise. The humidity has been high, with temperatures a little higher than normal, and our foliage has gone bonkers!

 

Today I was sitting on my front porch taking in one of those intense Wisconsin summer storms. I was watching the maple trees across the street from our house swing and sway in the wind  and with all the fullness of foliage they looked like giant cheerleading pom poms, and if I could hear their cheers it might be “Come Jesus Come!

 

The Bible tells us: Ps 96:12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice

 13 before the LORD.  For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.

 

God has equipped His trees to make a joyful noise, let us join in and even more as we see the day coming!

Come Jesus Come!

I’m Duane Matz and that’s Today’s Living Word
