Digging into Our Roots – Colossians 2:6-7

Happy Friday, sweet friends! True to Illinois fashion, our state went from summer to winter in a little over 48 hours. There is a chance for light snow (that is not a typo!) this morning! While talking with a co-worker yesterday, it suddenly dawned on us; this weather is nothing compared to the devastation that the Florida panhandle has. Please pray for those people who lost everything they owned. I cannot imagine what they are facing in the aftermath of all this destruction.

One cannot help to wonder why God would let something like this happen. I don’t know, but I do know that God loves us and through devastating times, we need to always cling to that.

Digging into Our Roots

My women’s Bible study at church this fall is the study of Colossians. While I have read a verse here and there, I have never studied it as a whole book. Wow! Is it impactful!

The two verses that were poignant to me were Colossians 2:6-7.

Did you know that however tall a tree grows, the roots are mirrored just as deep? Think of the massive sequoias or redwood trees. Can you imagine how deep their roots are?

As Christians, we are rooted deeply in Christ. In this dark world, our firm foundation is in Christ. Our roots are embedded deeply in Him so that nothing can uproot us. Yes, the enemy is on the prowl, but he can’t eradicate Christ from our lives.

Next time you are taking a walk, I encourage you to look at the trees from top to bottom. Imagine what the roots look like and remember that you are rooted and built up in Jesus!

Have a great weekend!
