Evening — November 22 — Job 14:7

For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail. — Job 14:7God’s restorative work often begins with breaking and pruning, not as punishment but as preparation for deeper life. The same hand that wounds is the hand that heals, and the promise is that nothing left for dead will fail to rise again. This cycle of death and rebirth trains us to trust the Gardener who knows how to cultivate righteousness through temporary loss.
