Deeply Rooted

Day 4, Post 4
An amazing, yet less known, truth in life is the deep roots of Scripture. It is amazing to me how much one Scripture can burrow itself deep into our hearts and begin spreading its roots into many areas of our life. As the roots branch out we slowly realize how those truths apply to our lives. Like waking from a dream. It becomes a faint thought that there was something about this that connects, then the thought comes closer and closer on the horizon until suddenly it is so obvious you wonder how you missed it before.

The past week I have been memorizing James 1 and have been amazingly blessed at the many applications of simply the first 8 verses. To ponder and chew on a Scripture all day, then when something is a problem or is bothering us, quoting those verses and seeing how the Lord orchestrates them to speak to our hearts, is precious. It carries us through the hard times, gives us guidance in the confusing times, and blesses us in the low times.

Take it, chew it, ponder it, be blessed.
