GET ROOTED IN GOD

They will be like a tree planted by the water . . . its leaves are always green . Jeremiah 17:8 When friends moved into a new home, they planted wisteria near their fence and looked forward to the lavender blossom that would appear after five years of growth. Over two decades they enjoyed this plant, carefully pruning and tending it. But suddenly the wisteria died, for their neighbors had poured some weed killer by the other side of the fence. The poison seeped into the wisteria’s roots and the tree perished—or so my friends thought. To their surprise, the following year some shoots came through the ground. We see the image of trees flourishing and perishing when the prophet Jeremiah relates them to God’s people who either trust in the Lord or ignore His ways. Those who follow God will send their roots into soil near water and will bear fruit (Jer. 17:8), but those who follow their own hearts will be like a bush in the desert (vv. 5–6). The prophet yearns that God’s pe...

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS (Part two)

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS (Pt Two) I. V. 22a GOD IS FAITHFUL IN HIS GRACE ( Mercies - This word is translated “ loving-kindness ” over 30 times in the Old Testament. It is a very expressive word that conveys all the ideas of “ love, grace, mercy, faithfulness, goodness and devotion. ” This word pictures God as the Divine lover of men . It finds its New Testament equivalent in the idea of God’s love and grace . Notice a couple of quick thoughts about the amazing grace of God. Jeremiah seems to be remembering that it was the pure grace of God that brought Israel out of their slavery in Egypt. It was also grace that had kept them a redeemed people in spite of their failures and wanderings. There is a word for us in this thought t...

RESISTING FLESHLY APPETITES

Ephesians 2:1-7 The Holy Spirit guides believers to make wise and godly decisions. But when Christians fail to listen, they can instead make choices that appeal to the flesh. After the serpent spoke to Eve, she no doubt took a long look at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ( Gen. 2:17 ; Gen. 3:3 , Gen. 3:6 ). Whatever she might have thought about the tree before, she now saw it with new eyes— flesh-focused eyes. Genesis 3 tells us that the forbidden tree appealed to Eve in three ways: It was good for food, delightful to look at, and desirable to make one wise. In other words, the tree could fulfill three legitimate human appetites: the desire for tasty meals, beauty, and wisdom. There is nothing wrong with these God-given yearnings. The Lord created a variety of food and an earth filled with breathtaking sights so that people could enjoy them. He also offers the Holy Spirit as a source of His true wisdom and knowledge. In fact, it is the Spirit who teaches...
