In episode 27 of the BEMA podcast, Marty Solomon talks about the
Acacia tree. After listening, my husband was so moved that he asked, “Will you paint one?”

The Acacia tree is remarkable. It can appear completely dead for over a decade—dry, brittle, lifeless. But the moment water touches its roots, it springs back to life. Leaves burst forth. Fruit begins to grow. What looked dried up and dead, was simply waiting.

Referred to as the “gift of the desert” by Bedouins, the Acacia tree is incredibly practical. Its wood burns hotter and longer than any other. Its sap becomes pitch for building. Its fruit, when boiled in water, can sustain a thirsty camel for an entire week.

You’ll usually find an Acacia at the end of a wadi (a canyon carved through the desert by rushing water). You won’t find these everywhere in the desert.

Marty says in his podcast that the acacia tree is the tree referenced in Psalm 1 and Jeremiah 17.

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”
Psalm 1:1-3

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

There are seasons in life and ministry that seem like a desert. Seasons where you aren’t seeing the fruit. But, the blessed man is the one who keeps the faith, keeps persevering, keeps dwelling on the Word of God, even when he isn’t seeing rain, or fruit. When we trust in the Lord and meditate on His Word day and night, keep it at the forefront of our minds, then we will produce fruit in the Lord’s timing, when He calls us to action.

Marty says “I’m called to be the gift of the desert, and how am I going to do that? By making sure that I walk the path, and I walk the path, and I walk the path…Even in times of drought, even when there’s no rain…I meditate on His law day and night because I know that one day the rains will come. The tree will spring to life, and all of a sudden, I’ll be ready to bear fruit, the gift of the desert.”

Your faithfulness is not wasted. You are being prepared.
Spring to life. Bear good fruit. Be the shade in someone’s desert.
