Up The Right Tree?
December 11, 2025
KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:
Family Trees take on many shapes and designs. Some of them look more like family bushes than trees. However, have you ever given much thought to whether your family tree is an eternal tree, or is it a tree that will wither and die? You see, the life of a tree is not dependent upon how many branches and leaves are on the tree. The life of the tree depends on the root system and the nutrients that are obtained from those roots.
If you want a family tree that will stand the test of time, you need to have the right roots. If your roots are planted in shallow ground, such as things that only matter today, then when the winds and storms of life blow, your family tree will not be very stable. But then again, if your tree is well rooted in God’s Word, something that will last for eternity, your family tree will live on and survive.
How can you make this happen? Well, first, you need to be rooted well yourself. You must know Jesus as your Saviour. Then, as our text today says, “he that winneth souls is wise.” Share with your family the gifts and grace of God.
CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:
If you starve a tree, give it no water and no light, it will die. Jesus said that He was the water that would never run dry and the light of the world. If you feed your family tree with the right water and the right light, it will grow and flourish into a beautiful, eternal tree.
How strong is your family tree?
