The dome

There's a tiny tree, just beginning to grow in the ground. Above it stands a large dome made of solid rock.

My first reaction is: "That's stupid. First break down the dome and then plant the tree."

But God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. That little tree will break through the stone and destroy its life restricting structure.

We wrestle not with flesh and blood but powers and principalities. The battle is not in the stones, but in the ground- a fight for water, nutrients etc. Win the fight there and the rocks will crumble.

No point in preaching and striving against the structures of this world. Fight the darkness with your light. Win the battle in the spirit. The victory is already ours.

God is good. God is good...
