MARCH 10 - Rooted, Not Shaken3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 12:2–3; Psalm 29; Genesis 16–17//⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible (Year 1) Devotional Book Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠//________________________________________“A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of evil devices he condemns. No one is established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved.” — Proverbs 12:2–3“The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.” — Psalm 29:4“I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless, that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” — Genesis 17:1–2________________________________________Life can feel like one big unknown sometimes. Whether it's trying to figure out who your real friends are, what you’re good at, or what God wants from you, there’s a lot that can shake your confidence. But today’s readings show us something important: if you’re rooted in God, you won’t be moved—even when life is loud and messy. In Genesis 16–17, Abram and Sarai tried to take things into their own hands instead of waiting on God's promise. Still, God didn’t give up on them. Instead, He reminded Abram of His promise and called him to walk with Him. Psalm 29 reminds us of God’s power—His voice breaks the strongest trees and makes mountains shake. And Proverbs 12 tells us that being rooted in righteousness (doing what’s right in God’s eyes) makes you unshakable.________________________________________THINK ABOUT IT1. What Are You Rooted In? Are you letting your choices be guided by what feels good or by what God says is good? Proverbs says the righteous will never be moved.2. Listen for His Voice: Psalm 29 shows God’s voice has power—but are you listening? Sometimes He speaks in a whisper, other times like thunder. Are you tuned in or tuned out?3. Wait on God: Abram and Sarai got tired of waiting and made a mess. Can you trust God’s timing, even when it’s slow? He always keeps His promises.________________________________________BOTTOM LINEWhen you’re rooted in God’s truth, nothing can shake you—not doubts, not drama, not even failure. God’s promises are worth the wait, and His voice is the one worth listening to.________________________________________PRAYERHeavenly Father, Help me stay rooted in You when life feels confusing or uncertain. Teach me to trust Your promises and to walk with You even when I don’t understand the path. Speak to me through Your Word, and give me the courage to wait for Your timing. Thank You for being steady when everything else feels shaky. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
