Hello, I would like to share with you the message from 15 juillet 2026 from “The Good Seed” daily calendar.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lᴏʀᴅ, and whose hope is the Lᴏʀᴅ. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit. (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
How deep do the roots reach?
In the park of the former London palace, there was an ancient vine. It occupied the entire length of the greenhouse and was a visitor attraction for a long time. Even during a terrible drought, when many trees around withered, this vine remained strong and produced excellent grapes every year. The gardeners were fascinated.
Where did this vine get its strength from? Carefully, they dug around it and found, to their amazement, that the roots reached far into the park and extended to the Thames. That’s the river that flows through London and never runs dry.
Humans also need water: not only for their bodies but, metaphorically, also for their souls. A person who wants to quench the thirst of his soul at a human source will soon notice that this source slowly dries up. Whether culture, sports, travel or hobbies – everything eventually loses its appeal. It has to be constantly increased: bigger, better, longer or more expensive. But in old age, there comes a point where these things can no longer be increased – what then?
It is quite different with the source that God offers us. God calls Himself “the fountain of living water” (Jeremiah 17:13). This means that He never disappoints. From Him, we receive lasting peace and eternal joy. Of course, even in the life of a believing Christian, there are “dry spells” – difficult times like grief, illness or other problems. But whoever sinks his “roots” trustingly into the love of God will not “wither” even in such difficult trials but will be “rooted … and built up in Him” (Colossians 2:7).
Today’s reading: Leviticus 25:39-55 – Psalms 71:1-8
