Proverbs 10:25 When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation.
Our verse doesn't say 'if' the storms of life come, it says 'when' and we've all probably experienced some storms along the way but I love the fact it says we have a lasting foundation. In other words, we're being held steady.
Our verse cross references to Proverbs 12:3 ...But the godly have deep roots. We're not left to be tossed about by the storms, because we're deeply rooted with roots that hold us strong. Scripture says we're like a palm tree and they are known to be able to bend over to ground level in stormy winds but have the God given ability to spring back upright. How wonderful is that? No matter how far bent over we get God is strengthening us to be able to spring back up. Thank You Lord.
So what is it we're rooted in that keeps us so strong? Ephesians 3:17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into Gods love and keep you strong.
It's because we belong to Jesus that we are now rooted and grounded in His great love for us and we know love never fails and His perfect love casts out all fear. That's what our foundation and our roots are in and the more we learn about His love for us the stronger our roots will be.
So be encouraged today to know that we are deeply rooted in Christ's love, He's holding us steady and He's giving us the ability to always spring back up. 😊Thank You Lord.
