The word for today is - Rooted !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Rooted !

How far are you rooted in Jesus Christ? How far down do roots go? It is difficult to determine exactly, though roots need to be entrenched a seriously long way to support the tree standing above ground level. If the roots become severed or disconnected the tree will not continue to grow. Likewise if the roots do not receive sufficient water after a period of time it will start dying. Water is an essential ingredient for life! It is absolutely vital, so vital that without it, we die. The Bible tells us that God is the Fountain of Life and Living Water. Without Him and His Life and water; we are dead. Read Jeremiah 2:13,For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.The word of God says, Come and drink , from me (Jesus), read Revelation 22:17, And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Some people may ask,what was Adam and Eve's problem? They ate from the wrong tree and others need to be careful that they don't eat from the wrong tree and produce bad fruit also. Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then they tried to hide. Could they hide from God? No,of course not! Why? Because God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent and their efforts to hide were futile. Let us seek the true vine,Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ portrays Himself as the true vine of God to His disciples for a two-fold purpose: First, to let His disciples know that even though He would not be physically present with them always, He would send the Holy Spirit to be “with” and “in” them. Second, He uses this opportunity to instruct them to remain in close fellowship with Him, the only True Source of life, through the power of the Holy Spirit, that they may bear spiritual fruit, receive answers to prayer, and have fullness of joy. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
