Rooted In Righteousness

A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.     Proverbs 12:3

David starts off Psalms describing the righteous as a tree planted by the water (Psalms 1:3) and Solomon continues the description in the verse above. What is the significance of being rooted? Anyone that has witnessed a windstorm knows that trees not firmly rooted rarely survive the gusts of wind. It is the same in life, we are continuously buffeted by temptations and hardships. If we are not firmly rooted, we will suffer the same fate.

Are you rooted in His Word? Are you unsure of your convictions or not sure where to turn? Dig in the God's Word and he will strengthen your roots to withstand the gusts in life.
