"...that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting
of the Lord, that He may be glorified."
(Isaiah 61:3)
A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark.
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around
The weary wind gave up and spoke.
How can you still be standing Oak?
The oak tree said, I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two
Carry every leaf away
Shake my limbs, and make me sway
But I have roots stretched in the earth
Growing stronger since my birth
You'll never touch them, for you see
They are the deepest part of me.
Until today, I wasn't sure
Of just how much I could endure
But now I've found, with thanks to you
I'm stronger than I ever knew.
"The Oak Tree"
Johnny Ray Ryder Jr.
The Oak tree is the national tree of the United States of America.
It has been a symbol of hope for 245 years of our existence.
Please pray for another Great Awakening of true,
Christ-centered, Holy Spirit-led faith across our troubled land.
The same faith, which, like the acorn planted in the soil so long ago
by our pilgrim ancestors, grew into strong and unshakable roots,
the mighty Oak of America's Judeo-Christian heritage.
