Rooted-Intro

A couple of weekends ago, I went on a youth retreat with my church. The theme for the weekend was "Rooted." I found that message and that whole weekend to be truly amazing. So for the next four weeks I am going to write about what it means to be rooted in God. The verse that I am going to be using the most is Psalms 1 which goes,

Blessed is the one

    who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

    or sit in the company of mockers,

but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

    and who meditates on his law day and night.

 

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

    which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither—

    whatever they do prospers.

Not so the wicked!

    They are like chaff

    that the wind blows away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,

    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that over the next four weeks that you will say what you want to say about being rooted in our faith and rooted in the knowledge of you who are.
