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:
O house of Israel, trust in the Lord--he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord--he is their help and their shield. You who fear him, trust in the Lord--he is their help and their shield. Psalm 115: 9-11
Dear Lord,
You implore us to trust you. Give us both the desire and ability to do so. We so badly want to do things our own way at times. May we say in full confidence that you alone are our help and shield. Amen.
