"Every knee shall bow"

So then just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taugh, and overflowing with thankfulness"

Colossian 2:6-7(KJV) 

A writer for a local newspaper was interviewing a farmer about the effect of recent weather on his crops. Rain had been abundant and the farmer's soybean and corn crops were tall and lush. "My crops are especially vulnerable right now," said the farmer. This statement took the reporter by surprise. He had planned to focus his article on the good harvest expected and the economic boom it would bring for the town. The farmer went on, "Even a short drought could have a devastating effect." "Why?" Asked the reporter. The farmer explained that while we see frequent rains as benefit, during rainy times the plant are not required to push their roots deep in search of water. The roots remain near the surface, leaving the plants Unprepared for drought. His crop also faced the danger oc sudden strong wind storms. again, because of the shallow root structure, a strong wind could wipe him out in only a few minutes. Some Christian enjoy an abundance of "rain showers" that come in the form of praise services, fellowship with other believers, and times of rich Bible teaching. But when stress enters their lives, these same Christians can lose faith abandon God, or believe God to be unfaithful. Why? Their roots have never pushed much below the surface. Their spiritual life is top-heavy, relying on others more than on personal devotion in prayer and study of God's Word. They are especially vulnerable to the strong winds of adversity or the searing heat of stress. Only the roots grown deep into God will help us endure tough times. Put your roots down more deeply today. Spend time with the Lord...in the Word ...and on your knees.
