Trees of Righteousness

Trees of righteousness, rooted in solid ground, firm through the fierce droughts and storms of life. Planted by the LORD to glorify Him. Is this what our Christian life looks like? Are we strong trees that know how to find the love and strength that only God can give in the roots that are deep in Him? Or are we little saplings, twisting and bending in the wind, only to be uprooted when storms come. Wherever we are, whatever the stature of our growth, we must constantly be seeking a stronger relationship with Christ. Without Him, we will wither and die. So what makes us grow? Not worldly possessions--not earthly treasures. Our growth comes when we spend time in the Bible--earnestly searching to know more about God. Growth comes when we spend time talking to our Saviour, our Father, deepening the relationship we have with Him. Growth comes when we spend time with other Christians, encouraging them and being encouraged by them. So how are we doing? Are we becoming strong trees that cannot be shaken, or are we content to be little saplings?
