“I wanne be like a tree...planted by the water...trusting in the Father to help me grow the deeper my roots go...the better my fruit show...the Living Waters for all to see”
This is a simple children’s song that I heard long ago, but when I actually thought about it - it turned out to be very profound words. It is also what God has put on my heart for my team (NORTHBOUND) this year.
In Jeremiah 17:7-8 the Lord speaks about this tree:
· I trust that we will not only hope in the LORD, but that HE will truly BE our hope.
· I trust the Lord for a very fruitful year. A year of growth – maturity in me and in my team, that only He can establish. That He may come and lay foundations based on truth and our identity IN CHRIST.
· I am trusting that the fruit of the Spirit will be so evident in our lives that it will draw people towards God. That we would LOVE people UNCONDITIONALLY with the same love the Father lavishes on us daily.
· I trust the Lord for the strength that even when the heat comes and in times of drought we will be SATISFIED only with Him.
· I trust that because we have been crucified WITH CHRIST we are now able to walk in the Spirit and live victorious lives.
· I trust that we will be VESSELS in His Kingdom – that we would walk into the good works the Lord has prepared for us.
Please trust and pray with me.
Looking forward to the best year of our lives!
