What’s true in nature is also true in our spiritual life; we are only as strong as our roots. If our spiritual life is shallow and we settle for a “good enough” faith, we run the risk of being easily toppled when the storms of life hit us.
But when our roots grow deep down into Christ, when we embrace the storms as opportunities to reach further down into the soil and become firmly established in Him, our roots grow stronger and deeper, enabling us to stand firm in the midst of the hard times.
