Picture: Tree (the seed and roots)
Scripture: Matthew 13:1-9,18-23; Jeremiah 17:5-8
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Take a quiet minute to focus on the underground elements of a tree: the seed, the soil, and the roots. With this in mind, consider the importance of being spiritually planted in God’s rich soil.
Where is your seed planted?
How deep are your roots?
Write a prayer using the daily verses as a reference:
At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land...and they told him (Moses), "We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large." Numbers 13:25, 27-28
Dear Lord,
Remind us when we focus on our fears, our perspective gets distorted--everything grows! May we always remember who you are--the Almighty, all powerful, all loving, wonder-working God. For when our eyes are on you, we can be strong and courageous. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
