– Scripture:

                        Roots 

God’s Message:

“Cursed is the strong one who depends on mere humans, Who thinks he can make it on muscle alone and sets God aside as dead weight. He’s like a tumbleweed on the prairie, out of touch with the good earth. He lives rootless and aimless in a land where nothing grows. “But blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They’re like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers. Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season.

                         Jeremiah 17:5-8 MSG

Key Verse – “But blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They’re like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers.

 – Reflection:

When we trust GOD and give him our total attention, we notice the peace that is over us. Nothing can shake you because you are rooted in the WORD of GOD. Put all of your faith in the walk that has been prepared for you by our Savior, and talk with him as you walk so that you will better understand the work to be done. The talk is Prayer; prayer gives us the understanding of the work placed on our hearts that only GOD can tell us what it means, so walk and talk. Enjoy every moment of the trip and the conversations to be had.

Where do we go from here?

We’re like trees that are not affected by a drought. We keep on producing even in a drought, we will last longer than our opponents and will accomplish dreams bigger than we could ever have imagined. He has provided us with everything we need to succeed. The bad breaks, the people who walked away, and the unhealthy environments we may have been raised in cannot hold us back because our faith and our roots go deep.

Our Prayer for Today

Father, Thank you for rooting us in our spirits with you when we were born, Lord; we know that it is up to us to come to you and ask to awaken this within us. Today we are all thankful for the roots within us, and we will work hard to honor the work placed within our hearts. All the glory given to our name will be given to you always. Amen.
