Back in my home state of Michigan, I found deep roots. The soft grasses in this state have very deep roots, unlike the sandy ground with shallow roots found on the grounds in Florida, where I live now. What a huge difference in the grasses on the ground of the north and the south.
Our faith can be seen as a root system. Do we have deep or shallow roots?
What’s your temperature? If you’re not hot for God, then you are on the wrong track in life, and things are really heating up.
Here’s the right track:
“Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” (Colossians 2:7)
It is coming up on Thanksgiving here in the USA. Are you thankful for all?
I’m thankful to know my roots have grown deep in the Lord. I pray for you to find your way to Him, too, so that you can also be eternally grateful.
Your roots give you strength to endure. Life definitely has its challenges, but if you are open to perspectives, there are many learning lessons along the way. Our education never ends. Deep roots can bring stabilization and peace.
Until we virtually meet again, may God call you to Himself!
God’s Word for Today: “Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” (Ephesians 3:17-19)
