• Scripture repeatedly teaches that spiritual strength and flourishing are the result of where—and in whom—we are rooted. Jeremiah 17 and Psalm 92 use the powerful image of a planted tree to describe the life of a person who places their trust in the Lord. These passages remind us that blessing is not the absence of hardship, but the presence of deep roots in God.

 

  •  Together, these scriptures set the foundation for understanding that spiritual growth is not accidental or temporary. When we are planted, not potted—rooted in trust, committed to God’s house, and grounded in His presence—we are positioned to flourish in every season God allows.
