Oak trees take a long time to grow, but once they are established they provide refuge for many.

Tyranny can rise up quickly and can take even the observant watchman by surprise; yet the vision of the Lord is wide and deep, expanding from the beginning to the end.

When the Lord starts planting young oak trees with urgency, despite the long delay until they reach maturity, the timing is critical.

For when the planting is urgent, the time of their maturity has been calculated and deemed to be of utmost importance.

Do not delay in your planting when the hand of the Lord comes upon you firmly, for His vision dictates that His urgency is real and your obedience is required immediately.
