When trees are in the storm the branches bend and weather the storm if they are health they will come out safe and stronger. It’s when they are weak and malnourished that they break
We recently had a storm and I watched as all the branches of the trees around our home blow in the wind and it reminded me of how its there deep roots that help them weather the storm.
Its the same for us.
When our foundation is rooted, and nourished by Jesus we can endure storms in our lives. Its when we have shallow roots and are spiritually malnourished that we crack under the pressure of the storm.
What are your roots grounded in? What feeds your soul?
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. -Colossians 2:6-7
