Dead Things Don't Smell Water. This One Did. (Job 14:7–9)

Dead things don't smell water. This one did. Job looks at a cut-down tree — stump exposed, nothing growing, everything about it says "finished." And then he says something unexpected: even that tree can sense water and come back to life. "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again... though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant." — Job 14:7-9 (KJV) Whatever has cut you down — loss, betrayal, exhaustion, disappointment — this is for you: you are not done yet. 📖 Walk through this same passage day by day in the full devotional, From Drought to Overflow — free preview linked below. #FromDroughtToOverflow #Job14 #ChristianDevotional #FaithOverFear #BibleStudy #christian
