Tracing Your Roots

by PamFord Davis  
9/12/2023 / Devotionals

It’s apple pickin’ time in Central New York State. Memories transport me back to my Mycenae, New York childhood home.

Mom made delicious apple pies from the McIntosh tree orchard out back. Cherry pies were her favorite but she had to settle for the canned fruit variety when making them.

It’s apple harvest time; start pickin.’  Many of us are ‘as American as apple pie.’

“The patriotic origins of the classic dessert date back to the 1600s, when the colonists first arrived in America, long before the first Independence Day.” (Better Homes & Gardens)

Consider apples and America; they both have strong roots. Apple trees are rooted in fertile soil and America is rooted in love of God and country.

Have you traced your roots?

“Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and strength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord (Isaiah 11:1-2 NASB).”

JESUS is the root of Jesse and King David.

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you of these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star (Revelation 22:16 NASB).”

I’m returning to my spiritual roots. Are you?

… “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19 NASB).”
