So their trunks are, I don't have anything next to me that's like the same color, but it's kind of like a red tone trunk and they're beautiful. They're like orange trunk trees. But the bark of the tree is super spongy. And I almost got, I almost went up there and got some just so I could bring some here and like show y'all visually. Maybe another day you can look it up on the internet. Okay.

But it has spongy bark and the bark prevents them or basically the bark is thick and spongy because it's fire resistant, which helps protect the tree from the wildfires. So these sequoia trees are like embedded with a fire resistant aspect about them.

And so when I was reading about the sequoia trees and the reason as to why God took me to the sequoia trees is because we have all these wildfires that happen in California. And these redwood trees, these sequoia trees, they stand up tall, right? When I tell you that we have had crazy fires over here and these sequoia trees are standing strong and they're doing just fine.

When I tell you that we have had crazy fires over here and these sequoia trees are standing strong and they're doing just fine.

I began to wonder why, like why aren't these trees burning down? And it's because one, they have a bark that's like embedded to literally keep them safe from fire. And then a second attribute is that these cones that I was talking about, that's two to three inches wide. They contain these seeds. And so these cones are stored up in the tree.

But get this, the moment fire, there's a wildfire, fire goes through the branches of these trees, it sparks something inside of these cones to where it releases more seeds to then be sprouted out and put into the soil so it could reproduce more sequoia trees. And that really, really just caught my attention because you're telling me that this is a tree that is so massive.

It has fire restraining bark, but these cones can't be released unless if it's touched by fire. And so that really started to meditate in my spirit because I remember there's this one verse and it's Isaiah 43 too. It says, when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned. The flames will not set you ablaze.

And so the giant sequoia trees are one of the only forest trees that produce new life from a kindle of a flame. And I think sometimes we think fire is really harsh. whether if it's fire in our own lives, whether if it's a trial or a circumstance, but that fire from your circumstance before your trial might be the very thing that sparks new life inside and outside of you.

And so these trees were just kind of ministering to me physically, a physical revelation of a grace that's on fire of how, of how the grace we should extend out to others. What if it's a grace that, That's on fire, just like with these trees. A fire so powerful that it burns away bitterness and unforgiveness and resentment and the desire for revenge.

A fire that doesn't just consume, but it releases new life. And I believe that God today wants to give us fire of grace to spark new life into circumstances that are covered in a hard shell. And so I love how God can minister to us. I believe it's in Romans, but it says, you know, nature itself preaches the gospel. Like the existence of God is shown through what you already see in the natural.

And a grace that burns through the cones of forgiveness is the grace that God is calling us to have because there was new life released in a hard coned shell and it was only released by fire. I love Revelation 19, 12. It says his eyes are like a blazing fire. His eyes are of grace. It's the kind of grace that disarms judgment, restores dignity and changes everything.
