“…but the root of those who are right with God WILL NOT BE MOVED.” Proverbs 12:3 May we stay aware that the roots of our heart must continue to grow deep in Him. This is a continual process of feeding and maintaining our strength through God and His daily provision for us. This does not happen just by going to church once a week, it is a lifestyle of living and drawing upon the Almighty God. We have a vital part in the process of our growth in Him. Yes, we live by grace but we must do our part by staying spiritually strong and remaining obedient to Him. If this is your heart’s desire to be greatly used by Him know that He is ready to take you there as you apply your heart to His commands!
Jeremiah 17:7-9
Amplified Bible (AMP)
“[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies
on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads
out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when
heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious
and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.”
This tree that Jeremiah speaks of is the man who has totally trusted on the Lord God above. This tree thrives on the waters it is planted by. Notice the scripture says that THE HEAT WILL COME and SO WILL THE YEAR OF THE DROUGHT. In our lives we too will face times where the heat is on yet we can know that because our roots of faith are strong, we need not fear nor grow weary nor do the waters of His river run dry. In the year of drought we can be free from care for we will NOT stop yielding fruit. Praise the living God that has promised to sustain us!
Proverbs 12:3
“…but the roots of the righteous can’t be disturbed.”
