Acorn and the Pumpkin


There is an old poem that tells the story of a woman who was walking through a meadow. As she strolled along meditating on nature, she came upon a field of golden pumpkins. In the corner of the field stood a majestic oak tree.

The woman, weary, sat down under the oak and began to muse about the strange twists in nature. Tiny acorns hung on huge branches and huge pumpkins sat on tiny vines. She thought, "God blundered with creation! He should have put the small acorns on the tiny vines and the large pumpkins on the huge branches."

Resting beneath the tree, she drifted off to sleep. She was awakened by a tiny acorn bouncing off her nose. Chuckling to herself, she amended her previous thought, "Just goes to show that God knew best all along!"

Be encouraged my friend and rest in the wisdom of God. The Bible says that God declares the end from the beginning. He knows exactly what to do, how to do it and when it should be done, so never think He has forgotten you or will not deliver you from your troubles. Keep trusting in the Lord and know that God is wiser than we are and will deliver us from every plan and device of the enemy.
(Isaiah 46:10) (Psalm 50:15)
