Time has come for us as children of God to grow and mature in the things of God. The kingdom of God is not about us simply trying to get what we want. Instead, it’s about seeking a relationship with God and experiencing true kingdom benefits.
We come to Him with our list of desires. We bring Him our problems and want Him to fix everything.Friends, the Lord is more concerned about your inner life than your outer life. Why? Because He knows that when you are spiritually strong on the inside, then you are able to handle any situation that arises in your life on the outside.Isaiah 37:31. It says, …take root downward and bear fruit upward.In the same way, we must develop deep spiritual roots before we can truly enjoy the big, full life God has intended for us.
This includes cultivating a relationship with the Lord, finding out what He says about us in His Word, and becoming rooted and grounded in His love.A lot of times, we come at it the wrong way. We want to have all of the benefits—a better house, a bigger ministry, more money—before we ever establish our roots.
But without a strong foundation in God, these things can actually hurt us more than they can help. And without deep roots, we’ll never endure the storms of life.
