The Lord in the Tree
~ Alan Cohen ~
"Two men were walking in a field when a bull charged them.
One man scampered up a tree while the other stood defiantly
in the bull's path. 'Get up here, you idiot!' called the man in
the branches.
'The Lord will protect me!' retorted the other man.
The bull butted the man vehemently and went on his way
triumphantly, leaving the obstinate fellow dazed and confused.
The first man came down from the tree to help his bruised friend.
'I thought for sure the Lord would help me!' complained the
injured man.
'He tried,' answered his friend. 'Didn't you hear Him calling you
from the tree?'
A request for help from an unseen power often manifests itself
through earthly channels. God's wonders are not restricted to
supernatural miracles. Often miracles occur through people and
tangible messages here on earth.
If you are looking for an answer to a question or problem, you
may receive it through physical means. Someone may hand you a
book, invite you to a lecture, or speak a phrase that resonates
within you. You may feel a tingling in your spine, get goose bumps,
or simply feel a sense of clarity or fulfillment. Be sensitive to your
feelings and energies when such a sign is presented. The word
'angel' means 'messenger,' and your message may come anytime
through any means. Stay awake to listen!
