Rooted

Well, the rains have come – and gone! – so now is the time to pull weeds!  The ground is so soft, the roots should come right out…..unless…..the plant is firmly rooted and established.  Maybe the dandelions have lived in your yard for a few years.  Maybe your fertilizer has fortified both the good grass AND the ground ivy.  And maybe the lilies and the poison ivy have intertwined and built a garden together!  

As you pull the weeds and enjoy the glorious sunshine this week, consider how your life has been established…Where/how are you rooted?  What have you chosen in the garden called your life?  What have you established as your foundation?  And what abounds out of you as a result?

“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”  Colossians 2:6,7
