It's not good enough to lean on a strong church or strong believers. We each need to be firmly PLANTED in the faith if we hope to thrive as people of God.
For over a year I have been watching a pine tree that was partially uprooted during the hurricane of 2017.
A mighty oak broke it's fall and so it remained not dead exactly but with none of the vibrancy one saw in the other trees.
This morning I was several yards down the road when it suddenly dawned on me what was different. On the way back I walked over to where the tree once stood. And there was a stump cut level with the grass. The tree not quite dead, but not really alive, was no longer there.
The oak deeply rooted stood totally unaffected by what must have been a huge commotion just below it's branches. It's roots were in the right place.
The storms of life can unseat and uproot the best of us. Don't just lean ... get replanted. God does not need a backhoe and a gang of gardeners to do this. It's simply a matter of you ask, he speaks, it's done. Psalm 1.
