Pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the LORD's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Ephesians 3:16-18
In order to have good crops and plants there needs to be a sturdy healthy root system. If any diseases get into the soil and are not dealt with the crops could succumb. Also water is vital and nutrients to help the roots get established and strong.
Your life in Christ is like a root system as well. Your roots should go down deep into spiritual soil so you can withstand the attacks and storms of life that are certain to come your way. The more you immerse yourself daily in the truths in the word of God the less you are apt to fall prey to the devil’s schemes to dig you out of God’s soil and out you on a compost heap of sorts.
How are your roots today? Are you able to weather storms such as death, sickness, abandonment, rejection, or do you cave in and get mad blaming God?
PRAYER: I choose to stay focused and positive and not allow this world and its’ pollution and lies to kill off my spiritual root system. I choose to daily stay connected to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
