“Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7–8 ✨Rooted Jesus Girls,✨ This week’s Rooted Moment is anchored in one of Scripture’s most vivid promises: a life rooted in God’s presence is like a tree planted by water. Even when heat comes. Even in years of drought.
