Godly Roots

In the "landscape" of a life, sometimes seeds take root and grow.
And they become as plants and trees with roots which then cause woe.
Though the trees may be cut down the roots are still in place
And hinder God from working there because they take up space.

In the "landscape" of a life it is good to till the soil
By the Spirit and the Word... any "foreign" roots to foil.
Plants which grow amiss sap vitality and life,
And good roots which should grow then are weakened by this "strife".

God is able to "root out" odd plants which may have grown
And cause to flourish all those plants whose seed by Him were sown.
"Landscapes" sown with holy seeds bring glory to His name
And constantly show witness... His beauty to proclaim.

"Blessed is the man... whose delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season: his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
Psalm 1:1-3 KJV
