Today marks the anniversary of a day of tears for me. A source of daily love, friendship, and help that I'd had for many years was taken to do those very things somewhere else. I had come to rely on those things, a result of many years of hard work. I believed I had earned them... Not so.
My devotional that day spoke of the cutting down of one of the great cedars of Lebanon; a tree that had been a source of beauty, shade and repose for many. Then in a matter of hours, the steady work of an axe took the tree, leaving but a stump.
But the story doesn't end there. That great tree was taken to another place, where it underwent preparation and eventually became a glorious polished beam in the temple of God.
Now, I just need to wait and trust God to show how the loss of that tree is going to benefit the remaining trees in the forest...
