How healthy are your roots?
Typically after a seed is planted in the ground, there will be roots sprouting in all directions. Healthy, nourished roots produce the best results.
But if you have roots that have been damaged, left alone or over watered, you could end up with rotten roots. Rotten roots produce rotten fruit.
As it is with God; our roots are our foundation. Once you surrender your life to Christ, read His word and develop a relationship with Him, you’re rooted. Your roots go deep and take off. You keep your devotion to Christ healthy by keeping and maintaining healthy roots.
Don’t neglect your relationship with God. It’s easy to do if you’re not grounded in the Word (Bible). You get caught up in every day life; the demands of your job, your spouse, your family or friends. And before you know it, something starts to rotten.
Don’t let this happen to you. Stay strong, consistent in reading the Bible. Learn how to keep your roots healthy. Feed your life with the goodness of God.
Rotten roots produce rotten fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 - “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
