“PLANTS ON THE WALL!”
Jeremiah 17:8
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear  when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.

I frequently visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem. No, I do not take a plane ride but rather use the internet to view the wall. http://english.thekotel.org/cameras.asp The images are updated every few minutes, so it is very current. Sometimes the wall has many visitors who pray while touching the wall, while at other times only a few are present.

One of the most intriguing things that fascinates me are the plants which grow between the cracks on the wall. This is a very dry region and there is very little moisture. In spite of the lack of regular rain, the plants continue to grow out of the wall. They are able to survive because they have roots that travel deep into the crevasses that exist between the multi-ton stones that make up the wall. I am told that there are at least six distinct plants that grow out of the wall.

I am reminded that sometimes we may feel that we have been planted in the midst of a block wall where little spiritual nourishment is available. But wait! There is! It is to be found in the crevasses of the Word of God. He has given us the spiritual water that will sustain us in the dry and arid world in which we live. Praise God for the water of life that is able to cause us to grow!  

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
