Where are you rooted?

Well, it has been another lapse in posting. We have been really busy with some things around our house, on top of finishing the school year, working, etc. One of the things we have been working on is trying to grow some grass in our front yard. We had a project done late last summer, which included moving some dirt around, and we have been trying to get grass established in those areas ever since.

Apparently, getting grass established is a little more difficult than I ever expected it to be. While it may not have been the best dirt that was moved, I have seen grass grow in the cracks of the driveway, in between the steps leading up to the porch, just about anywhere and everywhere that you wouldn't want it but getting it to grow in the yard has proven a little more difficult.

Today's word is Colossians 2:7a, NLT, which reads, "Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong..."

The main part of growing anything is establishing where the roots grow. If there is good soil, and the right balance of nutrients, and the proper amount of water, things will grow. The roots provide the things necessary for growth and life to the plant. Whatever the root is growing in, whatever source of nutrients and water it is growing in will determine the health of the plant.

The same holds true in our Christian life. Whatever we are growing our roots in, whatever we are allowing to be taken into our minds and our hearts and our eyes and our ears will determine what kind of growth we have. We have to let our roots grow down into GOD, Who will provide what we need for proper and good growth. Where are you rooted?

Be Blessed,
