Are You A Strong Tree?

The other day I wrote about change.   I asked were you ready for change.  You know change is inevitable when it comes to situations and circumstances.   The only one that I know that does not change is God.   He is unmovable and unshakable, NEVER CHANGING.  I guess that's why it's important that we be rooted in Him.   God had me look up the purpose of the roots on a tree.   Not only is it for the tree to get nourishment, it is also to hold the tree upright so that it can grow towards the sun.   As we are rooted and grounded in God, remember the purpose is so that He can hold us upright and we can grow and develop towards the revelation of His "Son".  

Having strong roots in God is important.   Remember the roots are also the source of nourishment and growth.   If a tree has a strong root system, it won't harm it if it ever has to be transplanted.    It may be times in your life that God calls for change.   It is at those times that your root system has to be strong.   That you have to know where your nourishment comes from.  It is at those times that God will sustain you and help you to get to where you need to be in Him in order to grow successfully.

A strong tree is a source of shade and shelter for those around them.   A strong tree is a source of food for those that are hungry.   A strong tree is a source of beauty.  

God wants us to be a source of comfort, sustenance, and beauty for someone else today.    A tree is never planted for itself, it is always planted for the pleasure of someone else.
