“There are a billion ways to start digging deeper roots into God’s Word, and you don’t have to do all of them, but are you doing any of them? My guess is that this is not news to you. One more Truths for Troubled Times video to remind you to be in the Word. But there’s a reason for that. The reason why this never ceases to be a relevant issue for us is because it never ceases to be the way that God wants to see change happen in our lives. Maybe this is the 100th time you’ve heard this in the past few months, but has anything changed for you? I want to encourage you that it’s not too late. Start small, stay consistent, and be planted in the Word. The opportunity to be rooted in God’s Word has not passed you by, all you have to do is to start digging.”
