"You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following him. Plant your roots in Christ and let him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful." Colossians 2:6-7
I love this scripture and when I read this it reminds me
of the beautiful evergreens deep in the forests. There roots run deep and they stand tall and
straight, with their upper branches seeking out the light of the sun in the
morning sky.
Sometimes we are in such a hurry in our lives that we forget
to stop to take the time to appreciate all that the Lord has created for us to
enjoy. Sometimes we need to just be
still and wait upon the Lord. To breathe
in the refreshing smell of the pine needles and the moss that is growing up the
sides of the tree.
I want to be like these beautiful old trees that have
been rooted deeply and yet every morning the branches at the top of these
beautiful trees stretch up to the light of the sun. I want the roots of my walk with the Lord to
run deep and I never want a day to go by that I am not lifting up my arms in
praise and thanksgiving to my Lord Jesus who loves me so much that He gave His
life for me and is still willing to lead me through the darkness and up into
the light of His Presence!!! I hope that
you all have a Simply Heavenly day. God
bless you!!!
