Day 261
THE ROOT OF JESSE
In that day the Root of Jesse
will stand as a banner for the peoples;
the nations will rally to him,
and his place of rest will be glorious.
FROM THE FATHER'S HEART
My child, I love using ordinary people. It gives Me great delight to take the weak things of the world to confound the wise. Look at David, a shepherd boy destined for a king. And I, too, was born as an ordinary baby. As the Root of Jesse, David's father, however, I was of royal lineage. And as the Son of God, My roots connect earth to heaven—so you can blossom into a beautiful flower as My child.
A GRATEFUL RESPONSE
From an ordinary family, You brought an extraordinary king. I can trace Your human family tree back to royalty, Lord. You were a king in heaven, and You were in the lineage of a king on earth. You are the Root of Jesse, and Your branches reach all the way to this heart of mine.
SIMPLE TRUTH
