Your Roots

  Your roots

The prophet Jeremiah writes,

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. 

They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. 

It dose not fear when heat comes; its leave are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7,8.

Where are your roots located? Are they in this world or in God? If you are a true believer in Christ Jesus your faith must be rooted in God. For God, and only God, can take you through the good times and the bad times.

For me my relationship with God can be summed up in the twenty-third psalm that reads,

“The LORD is my shepherd, 

I shall not be in want. 

He makes me lie down in green pastures, 

he leads me beside quiet waters, 

he restores my soul. 

He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 

I will fear no evil, for you are with me; 

your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. 

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, 

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” 

                                                                                   Psalm 23

So dear reader is the Lord God almighty the Shepherd of your life?

Please think about it.
