Shoot of God’s Planting

God Calls the Shoot of God’s Planting
Metaphor: Shoot of God’s Planting
Concept: Not only has God planted us with His very own hands He has done so to ‘display His splendor’!

Isa 60:21; Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. NIV
There are three amazing statements here!
1.            We are planted by the Lord God Himself. Our lives and times are not circumstances or accidents.
2.            We are the results of the work of His hands, we did not just evolve.
3.            He has planted us so that through us His splendor is revealed! Not just in the physical creation of the Universe or the creation of the angels but in us…WOW!

Lord we rejoice and are over whelmed with awe at the revelation that you desire to make known your splendor through us! May we yield to the work of your glory in and through us!
