Deep-Rooted Faith

Bible in a Year:

The seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it.

Matthew 13:23

The Holy Oak stood next to Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church in New Jersey for more than six hundred years until it had to be removed. At its prime, the twisting branches spanned high and wide. Cool breezes rustled its green leaves and acorns. The sun peeked through wind-blown gaps, creating dancing glimmers of light in the shade below its canopy. But beneath the ground’s surface lay its true magnificence—its root system. An oak’s main root grows vertically, securing a reliable supply of nourishment. From that taproot, a mass of roots spreads horizontally to supply the tree with a lifetime of moisture and nutrients. This intricate root system often grows more massive than the tree it supports and serves as a lifeline and an anchor for stabilizing the trunk.

Like the mighty oak, most of our life-giving growth occurs beneath the surface. When Jesus explained the parable of the sower to His disciples, He emphasized the importance of being firmly planted in a personal relationship with the Father. As we grow in the knowledge of God as revealed through the Scriptures, our faith roots are sustained by His Spirit. God helps His followers thrive through ever-changing circumstances, trials, persecution, and worry (Matthew 13:18–23).

Our loving Father nourishes our hearts with His Word. As His Spirit transforms our character, He makes sure the fruit of our deep-rooted faith becomes evident to people around us.

By:  Xochitl Dixon Reflect & Pray

What can you do this week to ensure your heart will be good soil nourished by God’s Word? What fruit of deep-rooted faith have you seen become evident in your life over the last year?

Loving Father, please change me from the inside out and anchor me in faith rooted deep in the unchanging Scriptures.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day.

it’s weird...I lived 16 years in FL and never minded the heat.

Here, it goes over 90 and I’m a total wuss.

Something about palm trees, flamingos, and frangipani blossoms that make it seem more natural to be hot and sticky.

Hey Kathy, real hot here but a cooling is on the way.

No projects, mowing in the morning and then have a guy coming in to steam clean my carpets, lots of dust here in the high desert.

No more rain. There’s nothing in the forecast for the next 10 days at least. Tonight it’s supposed to get down to 69, though. Wish I could sleep outside. LOL!

....or at least open a window. But the cats would shred the screens. I might go sit out for a bit until the first mosquito bite.

Howdy, Kathy.

Did you enjoy a lunch break on the deck with the ducks to entertain you?
