Deeply-rooted trees tend not to topple over even in eighty-mile-per-hour winds. Shallow-rooted trees are susceptible to leaning over and falling down when strong winds blow. 

Deeply-rooted trees with ample water are healthy and fruitful. They are productive and effective. This is likewise true of people who delight themselves in God’s goodness and walk in his ways. 

Replant yourself in God’s good garden. Flourish in his presence and provision. This produces freshness and fulfillment. You are at your best in God’s presence and power.

I will live a life deeply rooted in God’s presence and power.

Our Father, deliver me from the undue influence who shun your words of truth and life. Give me an ever-deeper understanding of your will and ways. Deeply root my life in your grace and goodness so that I may live the fruitful and effective life you intend. Amen.
