Show Your Roots

Looking out the window while on the treadmill this morning, I noticed the exposed roots of a tree.

The area surrounding it appeared to be dried up.

The roots were easy to see.

Though not completely sure what type of tree this was, its roots appeared to run deep.

The tree was still standing, despite the erosion around it.

When we are deeply rooted in Christ, we are given the strength we need to stand tall.

Just like that tree.

I wonder if my roots are easy for others to see in the dry seasons?

Do I stand tall, grateful to not be swept away by the storms around me and showing gratitude to the Creator?

Or do I shift my focus away from the roots to what’s going on around me?

Friends, may you be strengthened today in faith knowing you are rooted in Him.

May our roots be visible for all to see.

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬
