Take Root…Bear Fruit!

Psalm 1

It has been interesting to watch the grass turn brown as the 100 degree-plus-days continue with no rain in site.  However, at least for now, the huge trees along the roadways in the residential areas are still leafy and green.  As I looked at those trees, and noticed how green that they were I was reminded that they are green because they are deep rooted.  That’s the way it is with our life as a Christian, if we don’t spend time in the “water” of God’s Word, our roots can’t go deep and if our roots aren’t we begin to get dry and shallow. However, the more time we spend in the Bible and meditating on what we have read, our roots begin to go deep, and as the Psalmist said, will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water and that tree flourishes!  How much “water” are you getting?
