I was out driving this weekend and I saw some of the after mass of a wind storm we recently had. There were trees down. Some of the trees looked to be very strong and healthy. They looked as if they could handle anything when you looked at them. There was one problem with them that allowed them to fall. Their roots were frail and week. They stood strong and because their roots were not rooted very well. The storms came and they fell. The storm had taken that tree roots and all out of the ground where it was planted. It looked like it was firmly planted but in the end it was not.
I was reminded that this is like us as Christians. We seem strong on the outside and we look so spiritually healthy but our rooting system is frail. We need to develop and grow our roots and hook our roots into the solid ground. We do this by studying God’s word. Prayer and spending time with him is also a great way to develop those strong roots. Faith also helps to develop our rooting system, when we have a rooting system that is based on our faith, nothing can knock us down.
