Jeremiah A Tree Rooted

“[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.” Jeremiah 17:7-8a AMP

“But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed. The Lord will show him that He can be trusted. He will be strong, like a tree planted near water that sends its roots by a stream. It is not afraid when the days are hot; its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year when no rain comes; it always produces fruit.” Jer. 17:7-8 NCV

The natural tree matures when the root structure grows deeper. The root holds the tree. The root helps to support the height and the growing tree. It makes a tree strong. The water and nourishment are important to help the tree to survive and to continue growing.

We are like a tree and its root go down deep is compared to our faith goes deeper in the Lord Jesus Christ. We continue to grow spiritually. How? The Word of God is our spiritual food and we receive spiritual food as our nourishment. The water of God’s Word brings life and the Holy Spirit renewed us day by day.

Prayer: Thank You Lord for reminding us that we are like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, the Holy Spirit, our wonderful friend. Your Word have we hid in our heart that we may be fully blessed by You. Peace will follow us all the days of my life and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever in Jesus name, amen.
