Keep your roots deep in Him, build your lives on Him and become stronger in your faith as you were taught. And be filled with thanksgiving.
Colossians Chapter 2 Verse 7A tree stands tall and straight, even though it sways in the wind. The rain and wind are heavy today as I write this message. Out of my window I see the trees swaying, but not breaking!! They are grounded in the earth, their roots run deep and so they are solidly planted. Makes me think of us in Christ and so God took me to the Verse 7 in Colossians Chapter 2.
When we keep our roots in Him, we too are well grounded as we study and apply His word to our lives. If you have accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour of your life, then the word of God here in this scripture reminds us to live in union with Him. When we stay close to Him we build our faith strong. We learn to be thankful in all things. We build our lives according to His word and accept His will in our lives. There will be high winds,(things that happen in life to blow us off our feet), there will be heavy rains, (tears of sorrow and/or pain),but we can and will remain strong in our faith because we come to Jesus in all circumstances and situations of life. He directs us to His word to bring comfort, direction and healing. His word in Colossians Chapter 2 Verse 10 says:
(10) And you have been given full life in union with Him. He is supreme over every spiritual ruler and authority.
Wow, that is such a comfort to know Jesus rules over all! Everything in our lives is in His hands. I certainly can rest in that!!
When we build our lives on the word of God and God leads us in life, then we can be assured our lives will stand the test of time and we can weather the storms of life, high winds and all. A life built in Jesus is a life in the fullness of Christ. The word of God says so and for that I am thankful.
How about you?
