“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 17:8
In a few months spring will be upon us and many will plant flowers and vegetables. Right now you can look around you and see trees and grass and some is flourishing but some may look sickly. I have seen a few trees that look like they could topple at any moment due to bad root system.
In our spiritual life your ‘roots’ are crucial too. You need to put fertilizer on plants and you need to fertilize your spiritual roots with a daily dose of reading scripture. Is there anything you know of in your daily life that may be a contributing factor to your spiritual roots drying up?
Why not continue in the month of January purposing in your heart to grow closer to the Lord and the more you do for the kingdom the stronger your roots will become.
PRAYER: I want to get closer to you in 2019 and get rid of anything that poisons my spiritual life. Help me recognize evil and search for truth in the word daily. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
