The Rooted Heart

Friday, August 15, 2014

How blessed is the man who trusts the Lord. He will be like a tree planted by the water, always meditating upon His law (Ps. 1). The blessed one is one who trusts the Lord. They are like trees - rooted. A truly blessed life is that of faith, not flimsy or shaky...but rooted. Want to be blessed? Live with your heart rooted, firmly planted, like a tree, in the living waters of God, rooted in the truths of the Word, unchanging in all situations. Don't panic, you're rooted. True peace comes not from this world, but from being rooted in the Word, in God's love, in the unseen, in drawing life from the invisible, the hidden river of God, like a tree planted by the river. Drink waters deep from God - a stream always moving, yet unchanging and eternal. Root your heart by the waters of His love, your mind in the waters of His word; your soul by the waters of His mercy; your emotions by the sure hope of the Gospel. Plant your life, root your life by streams of His living waters. You'll be the blessed one trusting in the Lord.
