It's amazing how something that you do in your day works into upcoming scripture. Jason and I worked in our flowerbeds, weeding out the unwanted and adding mulch. (Needless to say...I got a little burnt doing it) I began to read our Sunday School scripture for tomorrow to prepare for our class and to get a little inspiration for my next blog. Here is what God calls us to do with...

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

We as Christians need to let our roots grown deep in the love of God. We need to be like the great oak trees in the south....ready to withstand the storms of life and the temptations of Satan. There are days when the clouds never seem to part and there is little light at the end of the tunnel. But God has given us the tools to conquer the storms that await us.

The more time and energy we invest in our relationship with our Heavenly Father, the deeper the roots penetrate the earth. This is one thing that I continue to learn as I grow older. It is important to build our relationship with God on a daily basis so that we acquire more tools to faithfully serve him.

God is faithful and just...we have to show Him our dedication. With our dedication our roots learn to grow. I pray that we all continue to learn and grow in God. I pray that we seek out His will in our lives that we can be faithful servants who have roots that can withstand anything.
