October 8 - Rooted Wisdom.

Proverbs 12:12-14
“The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.”

A net of faith will drift with the waves of the sea; but if our faith is rooted in Christ we can withstand the storm.

Colossians 2:6-8
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”

Within the Wisdom of the Word we not only find deliverance, but we are able to yield fruit for His glory. A fruitful tree obtains God’s favour and stands tall in service to Him.

Psalm 1:1-3
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

What are you rooted in today?
There are only two options, the Word or the world.
