I AM FIRMLY ROOTED IN CHRIST
“having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith,”
Have you ever seen a huge tree toppled over on it’s side? It’s sad. What had been big and beautiful lays there waiting to be chain sawed and taken to a brush pile or used for fire wood. However, more sad is a person who once professed their faith in Christ and is now toppled. One needs to look no further than the roots to see what happened. Showy faith won’t stand against the winds of temptation, despair, of disillusionment. But, if we truly trust in Christ, our roots are secure in Him. The more we study God’s Word and walk in His ways, the more firmly rooted, built up, and established we become.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Christ Jesus I am firmly rooted. When despair and doubts assail me, I can open my Bible and deepen my roots in truth. I love and praise You!
