Job 14:7-8 King James Version (KJV)

7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;





Job 14:7-8 Good News Translation (GNT)



7 There is hope for a tree that has been cut down;

it can come back to life and sprout.

8 Even though its roots grow old,

and its stump dies in the ground,

These are my thoughts, please share yours.



7 This is possible if the roots of the stump are not removed. We can but cut down or hurt but as long as we are rooted in the Lord we can grow back up again.



8 Even at the worst the tree can still grow back up as long as it has its roots. We may get to the point where we don’t feel like we can grow anymore but if we look to Christ then we will grow up again. Sometimes God does His best growing when we are broken apart and only have Him to rely on.
