Rooted In God & In God's Ways

I am rooted in who God has made me to be.  I find my delight in God and in His Ways.  I spend my time, day and night, pondering His Law, meditating on His love and His words.  I have become like the tree that grows outside my window and I watch for the lessons that it teaches.

My tree stands strong and silent.  It is just what it is meant to be.  It does just what it is meant to do.  It silently helps maintain life on earth.  It provides food and gives shelter to many of God’s little critters.  It provides beauty for those who take the time to look at it.  It doesn’t try to correct bad behavior; it doesn’t try to convert people to be a tree; it doesn’t sit and plan wicked and evil things nor does it try to stop them.  It simply stands there, being what it is and doing what it was meant to do.

My tree silently, without words, testifies to God’s invisible attributes, God’s eternal power, and God’s divine nature.  It provides and maintains life for all living things and gives me a sense of awe in the workings of God. It gives me a sense of peace in the knowledge of God’s Presence here on earth.  When I am faithful to who God made me to be and what God created me to do, I will yield my fruit and I will prosper.

God will see to the wicked ways that are in the world.  They have no rooting in God’s creation.  They, like chaff, will be driven away by the wind and will vanish from this world.
