A
reminder for today
They
are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the
water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of
drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.
(Jeremiah 17:8)
We were looking at water the last two days. Elisha threw
salt in the water at Jericho to purify it and streams of water appeared when
Elisha asked God because the troops of Israel needed water. I spoke to a friend
yesterday who had this amazing image of a tree. You see we are like trees with
our roots firmly rooted into the earth. When we give our lives to Jesus He is
the foundation that we build our lives on and as our roots grow deeper into
this foundation our leaves become greener.
The deeper and closer we move to God the more we will
shine and the stronger our relationship is with God the stronger our tree will
be. God’s abundant grace is like a river that flows past our tree. His love
will purify our tree with the water we receive from grace and His streams of
strength will let our tree produce fruit every day.
As your leaves become greener you will produce oxygen
that will breathe life into other and wherever you go people will long for your
fruit. With God’s river of strength and purified water that brings life to our
tree we will never be bothered by drought or heat, we will always stay green
and healthy.
My dear friend let us firmly root ourselves in the Lord
as He purifies our lives with streams of strength so that we can be trees that
produce fruit of life each day.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
