Deeply Rooted: exploring God's Word, one day at a time

Deeply Rooted is a soul-nourishing daily devotional that invites you to settle your life more deeply into Christ. Dr Henry C. Ohakah offers encouragement through these guides, helping you to cultivate a faith that endures the storms and seasons of life. Just as a plant thrives because its roots hold fast, so our spiritual lives flourish when they are anchored firmly in Christ. As Colossians 2:6,7 tells us, "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." And as the prophet Jeremiah paints a vivid picture of the life that grows from such trust, Jer 17:7 &8 "But 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." Deeply Rooted encourages a daily rhythm of prayer and communion with God, inviting you to draw sustenance from His presence until your faith grows strong and steady. As you journey through these devotionals, may your life become deeply rooted in Christ & a living testimony to His sustaining grace. Amen!
