Thriving Roots

In order to develop a thriving root system, our lives must be rooted in the soil of Scripture. There are many areas where God develops your root system, but none is more important than going deep in the Word of God. Delighting and meditating obviously go beyond mere reading. If we want a firmly planted root system founded on the Word, we must go deep in the Bible—chewing on it, studying it, memorizing it, praying it, and especially doing it.

God doesn’t expect us to know and trust Him solely through these personal experiences; He is also revealed through the established, authoritative record of how He has revealed Himself to millions of people throughout history, namely, the Scriptures. He wants the truth about who He is, as revealed in the Scriptures, to lead us into faith and trust.
