Devotionals
If you’ve ever tried to pull up a stubborn stalk of any kind, you know that you can break your back trying. It can be much the same with your spiritual walk with respect to roots that run deep and provide strength as well as nourishment to flourish. Are you flourishing in your faith? In the fourth chapter of John Jesus tells the women at the well He’s the One who can provide her with living water so she may thirst no more. Do you thirst for righteousness but aren’t sure how to go about getting it for yourself?
As righteous as some people try to act, true righteousness only comes from the One true God. Jesus Christ died as the lamb slain for the sacrifice of sin for all mankind. God’s purity washes away man’s iniquity. You too can be rooted in the soil of salvation that nourishes the spirit with rivers of living water. According to Ezekiel 31, roots made beautiful in greatness because they reach abundant waters in the garden of God’s grace. Do your roots search for living water? Are you spreading them out, seeking the Savior’s sweet serenity bringing growth and goodness to all who drink from the cup of His countenance?
Are you content or will you be courageous and continue to pursue His peace so your branches may not slumber in weakness, but stand in the strength of God’s powerful presence? And when life tries to uproot your righteousness you’ll not fall because of a feeble foundation, but glorify God in His strength where your weakness is made manifest in the humility of knowing you are the child of the King of all Kings, unshakeable, incorruptible, and undeniably determined to be rooted in His righteousness.
