Take Root And Move
OCTOBER 17 & 18, 2026
Daily Reading—Isa. 42-44 / Col. 3
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Colossians 2:6-7 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
When we think of things rooted, our thoughts often go to plant life. The deeper the roots, the sturdier they become. Harsh winds may blow, yet these deeply rooted plants are not moved. Or are they? We may not notice it, yet these firmly rooted plants are moving with the Earth’s rotation. Also, the Earth is moving, orbiting around the sun. Rooted well, and yet moving.
Much like the hardy plant life, we as believers must also be rooted in Christ Jesus, built upon Him as our rock of foundation. Having our faith established in the teaching of His Word. When this is true, we abound, live, and move in Him. Being led by Christ brings about thanksgiving.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Friend, is your life moving with, or apart from Christ? Are you Rooted and moving?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message.
Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading.
God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.
