River Roots.

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope & confidence. They're like trees planted on 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 17:7-8 

Oh how I love these scriptures. 

We all want to grow and thrive! We all want to be confident and secure. Yet the devil comes in and tries to steal our joy and security everyday.

When we plant ourselves daily in the Word of God, our roots never thirst. This means to simply read our bible daily. The growth never stops. We simply must stay connected with Him and apply His guidance. It seems difficult at times, but there's no perfection police! None of us are required to be perfect! If we stumble, forget a day of connecting with Him, or get off track, we just start again. He's there. Waiting.

Believe me when I say, the devil gets to me. He distracts, depresses, divides, and makes things so difficult for me. But always remember, God specializes in the unlikely, the impossible and the unexpected. He defeats the devil. Just talk to Him. Like a friend. Tell Him your needs. He will help you.

So plant your life by the river. The river, is the Word of God that flows through you. Read ONE verse daily. It does not have to be a chapter! Meditate and apply it. The river will water its roots and YOU WILL grow. 

You are deliberately blessed by a loving God who never leaves you.
