Planted: Building A Life That Lasts

Planted: Building A Life That Lasts.

No matter where a person is in the Christian life, whether up or down, soaring or struggling, there is a psalm that speaks directly to the spiritual state of his heart. The psalms were written to guide believers in the proper worship of God and, used rightly, are to be sung devotionally, prayed fervently, preached evangelistically, and taught expositionally. The primary purpose of the Book of Psalms is found in its intensely God-centered focus to direct our hearts toward him in every experience of life. – Holman Commentary

Psalm 1:1-6 NIV

A life that lasts is built by being planted in God’s Word and planted in God’s family.

1. Where You Plant Your Life Where Your Life Goes.

The voices you listen to become the you live.

The Hebrew word “blessed” (esher) means deep joy and contentment that comes from walking with God. 

2. Deep Produce Strong Lives.

The Hebrew word for meditate (Hāgāh) means to continually reflect on and speak God’s truth until it becomes part of your life.

Joshua 1:8 NIV

Psalm 119:105 NIV 

Storms Don’t Create Roots. Storms Roots.

3. Planted People Together.

Psalm 92:13 NIV

Being Planted Means More Than Attending Church – It Means Belonging.

The Results of Being Planted: 

1. : Storms come, but you remain standing.
2. Fruitfulness: Healthy roots naturally produce healthy fruit.
3. : Every season won’t be easy, but every season can still be fruitful.
4. Purpose: A life connected to God has eternal significance.

People Who Are Planted Don’t Just Survive; They Flourish.
