What kind of roots do you have? How deep do they go? What are they deep in? Who are they deep in? Do your roots support the life you desire? Are you growing healthily because of your roots? Are you willing to plant your roots into a new place to be who you were made to be?
We all have roots. Our roots are planted into something. Yet, it is what or who our roots are planted in that will determine how well we live our lives. Roots planted in gutters do not create healthy plants or lifestyles. Roots in poor soil or rocky soil are not conducive to a healthy life.
But there is One in which our roots can be planted who will give us the proper nourishment to lead a healthy life. When God move Israel out of Egypt and planted them in the land he promised, they grew healthy. But even healthy roots and plants need continual feeding and care.
As humans, with the freedom to choose, we can choose to ignore the feeding and care. When we do, we have picked up our roots and planted them in an other than desirable location. Yet, we can choose to plant or replant our roots into the healthy soil and receive the proper feeding and care.
God is continually waiting for us to choose him over the dregs of life. He desires us to turn to him. When we are willing to accept God’s care, we will flourish and live a healthy life. Not only will we flourish but we will be the living proof that God can and will provide a good life to anyone who turns to him.
I pray we all choose to plant our roots in God. I pray we choose to accept God’s feeding and care. I pray each one of us will flourish and demonstrate the good life that only God can provide. Plant your roots in God. Accepts God’s care. Flourish in God. Live the good life.
Psalm 80:8-9
You brought a vine out of Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.
You cleared the ground for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.
