The Root of the Righteous

“A man is not established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.” Proverbs 12:3

“Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God.” Psalms 92:13

When our roots run deep in our connection to God, His word, and His people, we are in a way, unmovable- unshakeable. The offenses, tests, trials, and storms of life cannot derail us, deter us, or disengage us from God’s faithfulness and love. We are tethered deeply to our God as we nurture these roots that keep us grounded in Him. It’s our job to stay connected to Christian brothers and sisters who help us grow in our faith – to be diligent to allow God’s word to go deep into our hearts and change us – to pray fervently and expectantly to our Father for wisdom and direction.

Nurturing these roots strengthens our faith and guards us against the winds of adversity. The deeper our roots go in our Christian faith, the less vulnerable we are to the things and people in life that try to shake us, intimidate us, and scare us away from that which we know is true…

“He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.” Psalms 112:7
