Deep roots allow trees to receive the water and nutrients they need to flourish. Those same roots also provide the necessary security for trees to withstand the strong winds that come their way. I have created you in much the same way, for you too need deep roots. You need to be deeply rooted in My Word so you will receive the spiritual nutrients you require. There is no substitute for My Word when it comes to providing the sustenance needed for a successful life. There is no substitute for My Word when the strong winds of strife come to you and to your family. When you are deeply rooted in My Word and in Me, you are able to withstand the strongest winds the world or the Devil can bring your way.
Psalm 1:3
He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Psalm 33:4
For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
Matthew 7:17-20
Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
Dear God,
You are the very nutrition I need for life. I will never be mature spiritually without continuing to be watered and fed by You and Your Word. I commit to You today that I will spend more time with You so I can grow and glorify You. Set my heart on fire for You, I pray. Set the heart of Grace on fire for You.
In Jesus’ name,
