When a planter plants a tree he doesn't just scrape a little dirt off the top and set the tree down. He digs a hole big enough for the base of the tree to sit in so that it doesn't topple over and so their is room for the roots to grow and strengthen the Tree.
Likewise we as Christians need to be both like the planter and the tree, just scraping up the bits and peices of God's word that seem appealing to us is not enough to keep us from toppling we need to plant ourselves firmly in God's Word. Studying to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.Much like trees become mature because of water and sunlight.We also become mature by soaking up God's Word . It is through studying that our roots in Christ are made stronger and we become mature Christians.
