HOW ARE YOUR ROOTS?

And, not your hair roots color!

It must not be a coincidence that I was writing about Roots and Pastor Stuart gave a rousing adaption of the Tree and Israel.  The Roots according to Romans.

Jesus is the root, of course.  The Tree trunk is Israel.  We are part of that heritage.  The branches are gentiles, Jewish Christians etc.  His searing comment was made when he said the United States should only support any country in a fight if they are born to God's standards and Biblical proportions.  You do the math.

My comments are and always have come from Jeremiah 17: 8 -
"For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes;  but its leaf shall be green.  It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit."

Words to live by -  If the tree's roots are Jesus, and I am planted with him, I don't have to sweat even the small stuff.  I will rise to any occasion and respond not react.  Be concerned but not worry.  Continue to pray, and work towards knowing God brings all things together for good.  I will stay fresh and able.

The companion verses that I want to add with this comes from Acts 17: 27 and 28

"So that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Him and find Him, although He is not far from each one of us.  For in Him we live and move and have our being;  as even some of your (own) poets have said, For we are also His Offspring."

All we have to do is stay CLOSE!  Seek His face and only His face and He will release us from the snare.
