DAY 14 OF 21

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.

About this Plan

Rooted

As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots--prayer, service, and community.
