Divine Preparation: The Planted Tree That Met Zacchaeus’ Need – Long before Zacchaeus couldn’t see Jesus, the tree was already planted to meet his need – In the Gospel of Luke, we come across the beautiful account of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector who longed to see Jesus. However, Zacchaeus faced a significant obstacle—he was short in stature, making it impossible for him to catch a glimpse of the Savior amidst the large crowd. But little did Zacchaeus know that long before his desire to see Jesus arose, a tree had been planted, perfectly positioned to meet his need. This incredible incident teaches us a profound lesson about God’s providence and how He prepares for our encounters with Him even before we are aware of our deepest desires.
