Acorns or Oaks?

“Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that we are nothing but acorns and that our greatest happiness will be to become bigger, fatter, shinier acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs.  Our faith gives us knowledge of something better:  that we can become oak trees.”  ~E.F. Shumacher 

Wow!  That is one powerful statement and so true of our society today.

How about you?  Are you desiring to become bigger, fatter and shinier or are you simply doing the next right thing (righteous living/right acting) and growing into a powerful oak tree one day at a time?

Isaiah 61:3, “…In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.”  (NLT)

P.E.A.C.E.
