Remeber the Roots…

Remember the Roots…

Written on July 27, 2011 by Lori MacMath

Far too often we boast and pride ourselves in what “we’ve” done. The culture encourages it.

While at the lake the other day, these branches were before me and this verse came to mind.

There is no room for boasting when you’re supported by much stronger roots.

Welcome to WFW!

There are very few rules, in fact the beauty of this ministry is the creative expression that God reveals Himself thorough. We marvel at the creativity that participants post with this meme. We encourage the ” post behind the picture,” or the reflections that many of the participants share. We ask that non-biblical resources not be used.

WFW is not about books, authors, artists.. it’s about God and HIS WORD ONLY. WFW is about celebrating the gift of creativity through God’s Word.

Join myself and some other wonderful ladies as we share by signing into to the Link below!

Blessings Lori and WFWers… Let us put our roots down deep in the Word of God and the Only One who supports us and our growth. May we abide in Him so He abides in us! I love how the branches of your tree…are so beautifully intertwined with the Word that gives life and come from our Life Source!
“I will not consider myself to be superior to those other branches.(because) If I do, (I must)consider this: I will not support the root, but the root will support me.” I noticed that this beautiful photo of this poor tree branch… has no growth, not even a bud… how sad. But that is how we become when we are boastful or prideful or allowing our society’s mode to form our formation… no, we must not conform to the world but be transformed. I’m off to transform my mind by renewing it with God’s Word. No better way than a WFW day! Thanks to Amydeanne and Lori and ISD with all the WFW family… being led by God’s spirit to share His Word!!! Hallelujah!!! Let’s boast in the One who gives us Life and speak Life into others in Jesus name… Love and peace, Peggy

Beautiful reminder. The verse from Psalm 1 come to mind, “A tree planted by streams of water”. We are nourished and receive our strength from the Lord.
Thank-you for your word today.
