Humans cannot survive without connection to essential elements of water, air, light and food. Similarly like trees, their strong, deep roots draw strength from deep ground, enabling them to remain full of life, even in the midst of drought-like circumstances.
In sharp contrast are those who put their trust in God instead of people. Tumbleweeds and trees both have roots. Tumbleweeds, however, don’t stay connected to their life-source, causing them to dry out and die. Trees, on the other hand, remain connected to their roots, enabling them to flourish and thrive, anchored to that which will sustain them in times of difficulty. When we hold fast to God, drawing strength and encouragement from the wisdom found in the Bible and talking to Him in prayer, we too can experience the life-giving, life-sustaining nourishment He provides.
When we face difficulties in life, you see how God sustains us. We should establish a good and deep relationship today.
