A Rooted Tree

Let us muse today from Colossians 2:7 an  another of Paul’s pictures of progress. We are told here if we are to make progress in the Christian life we must be like a rooted tree. The word rooted means a once for all planting. When God plants a tree in Christ it is forever planted. We are told in Psalms 1 that he plants by the rivers of water. These rivers are pictures of the word of God. He  trees must have the water of the word. He says when they get that water, they shall bring forth fruit, their leaf shall not wither, and whatsoever they do it shall prosper. I sure am rejoicing today that I have been rooted in Christ.
