A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.

Proverbs 11:28 (Msg)

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord....

They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.

Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.

Their leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NLT)

It all starts with God

For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible...everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.

Colossians 1:16 (Msg)
