Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
"The just shall flourish like the palm tree, shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon. Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God." Psalms 92:13-14
Psalms 92 - Planted in truth. Are you planted in good fertile soil? I have this image of a tree's root system in the ground being fed each day with the nutrients needed to grow into a mighty tree. We insure we are fed physically for our health, are we insuring we are planted in truth for our spiritual health. It is the unseen that holds us firm, it is the quiet time we deliberately take to be fed by God. It is in listening to the Holy Spirit and being pruned where we grow strong. "The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock." Matthew 7:25 Be planted upon firm ground.

What is God saying to me: I Am the Master builder, listen to My words and live forever.
Dear Father, it is a beautiful day to be nourished by You, I see the roots growing deeper and being built for a purpose. You are the Giver of all good gifts and I thank You for our time this morning. Even when I am not sitting still You are still engaging my senses to hear Your voice. Prayers for a young couple beginning their life together in Your presence, endow them with a happy marriage and a life that produces good fruit. Prayers for a world building upon sandy soil may they see the fruit of Your words and grow in peace. I ask all these things in the name of Jesus, Amen.
