Stay Planted

🌿 Your Invitation to Pause

As the week comes to a close, this is your invitation to pause. There is no pressure to produce, no need to rush ahead. Today is about staying—staying rooted in God’s presence and trusting that even in stillness, He is faithfully at work. Let your heart be quiet, your breath steady, and your spirit open as you spend a few moments planted in truth.

📖 Scripture

Psalm 1:3
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.

This verse reminds us that fruit is seasonal—and staying planted matters more than rushing the harvest.

🌿 Devotional Reflection

Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is stay.
Stay planted.
Stay present.
Stay surrendered.

God doesn’t rush growth. He nourishes it—day by day, unseen but intentional. When you feel still, remember: roots grow quietly.

You don’t need to force fruit.
You only need to remain connected.
