Deep ditches and little creeks make me think of home. They grew cattails and wildflowers every spring and summer. The trees by the creek grew strong and lived long with no touch of human hands.
The land was wild in places and sustained by the water. Where there is water, there is life.
“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit." -Jeremiah 17:7-8
Where we plant roots matters, but where we put our faith and trust matters more. There will be rain, snow, and drought. Sometimes we get them all in less than 24 hours.
Plant deep roots in the Living Water and rest.
Today, I am grateful for deep roots by a stream.
