S ~ Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots. Proverbs 12:3
O ~ Deep Roots. It is not enough for roots to exist, they need to go deep in order to have stability.
A ~ Deep roots go beneath the soil, and then keep going. It’s not enough to have balance, you have to have stability. A very light support can help with balance - or even a tightrope walker’s pole - but more than balance is needed. Stability comes from not a cursory reading of scripture, but somehow embracing, understanding, assimilating it into my life - my heart, my thoughts, my behavior, my very being. Deep Rooted prayer is not a morning or evening greeting, but an encounter that takes time. No shortcuts - deep roots take time to grow.
P ~ Lord, in this crisis of covid, may my roots go deep into Your Word, and deep into relationship with You in prayer. And even though roots take time, I pray mine would grow like bamboo - three feet a day! Amen.
