The Tree of Life

Christ is so real to me this past week, and the tree of life is no doctrine, its real. Just in pray-reading the Word with my wife and prayer with my family, supplied me a lot. Not a matter of the content of the prayer or the Word I read, but the touching of the divine life in every simple sentences of prayer and in every line of the Word. The chewing of the Word, just a verse, is sufficient to ignite the flame to burn within me. O what a blessed simple practice of eating the tree of life! What a shame on all religious rituals that never get connected with the divine life supply.

In my reading of the Word, I go very slowly, sometimes just a single verse, and enjoy the Word and praise the Lord for the deep revelations of just a verse. The Word is indeed life, life is God Himself who is eternal. The deeper I delved into it the more life it sprang out.

The speaking of the Spirit too is very real. This week I needed to decide on important matter, and as I brought the matter before the Lord, the answer was very instantaneous. Immediately, I was clear what to decide and had perfect peace. The Lord is sovereign.
