“Deeply Rooted”

 Jeremiah 17:7-8

“But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the 

LORD their hope and confidence.  They are like trees planted along 

a river bank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are 

not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their 

leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit.”  (NLT)

     These words are from the mouth of God, words of wisdom in their purest form—bringing simple truth that is easily understood and life changing as well.  For when we follow God’s well designed plan and draw from His infinite resources, our lives will not only flourish in good season, but when periods of drought or violent storms threaten to destroy or uproot us, we will find ourselves firmly grounded in the Word of Life that sustains our physical and spiritual lives.  God gave us His written Word and His Holy Spirit so we would learn how to live righteous and holy lives that would glorify Him and produce in us a healthy, heavenly fruit that this sin diseased world is in so dire need of. 

     When we are growing in God’s Truth, feeding on His every Word, we develop a strong and hardy root system that provides us with the strength and courage to weather the storms and droughts that are inevitable in this dangerous world.  Allowing the Infinite Gardener to tend your life, will in due time, produce a life-saving fruit that you can share with those who are starving for truth and dying in the storms of ungodliness that are wreaking havoc upon our world.  For when God’s fruit is digested, it will save you from being discarded and thrown into the fire.  Being deeply rooted in Word of God, my friends, will grow you strong and vigorous and nothing of this world will ever destroy you!

                                               A Whisper of Hope

Grow strong and healthy, My child…for you have the world’s best Gardener to feed you with His Word and to prune you so that you are healthy and fruitful.  When you remain connected to Me, you will produce the most needed fruit in the world—the fruit of salvation and peace, for there are many starving people who are slowly dying from their poisonous diet of sin and decaying morals.

John 15:4

Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. 

For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is

severed from the vine, and you cannot be 

fruitful apart from Me.  (NLT)

                     People need more than bread for their life;

     real life comes by feeding on every word of the LORD.

                                  (Deuteronomy 8:3)
