Today’s
scripture: 2 Peter 3:18
Recently, I had the privilege of attending a women’s conference at my church. The theme was being rooted in Christ.
The analogy is sound: When a tree is firmly rooted, it grows; it withstands strong storms; it bears fruit.
We too, when we are firmly rooted in Christ, grow, withstand storms, and bear fruit.
On the other hand, a tree with weak roots doesn’t grow. It may be pulled up when the storms hit. And it is fruitless … and it is the same with faith.
Oh, but by grace, we can grow in our “knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
How? By spending time in His word, studying and meditating. By internalizing its truths. By praying and listening to God’s voice.
Only then can we be firmly rooted in Christ.
So … how strong are your roots?
