“I Will Turn Them Into Your Foundation For Ministry.”
Scripture: Genesis 3:8
Verse 8 of Genesis 3 says, “And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among
the trees of the garden.” Perhaps we need to ask ourselves what do the “trees” represent and how
many “trees” do we have in our lives? In order to see what the “trees” represent perhaps we need
to look at the promises of Scripture as restorative in nature. For example, in Isaiah 61 God speaks about a restoration in the issue of trees where our individual lives become a testimony of redemption. Verse 3 says, “…To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The
planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” If God wants to turn the “trees of hiding” because of personal failure into “trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified”. The “trees” represent the individual failures that have come from weaknesses, character flaws, moral failures or stupid choices. Only God looks at our failures and says, “I will turn them into your foundation for ministry.” How can God do that? It\’s one of the milestones, one of the marks of a relationship when we
know Him.
