God Replants
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6-7
This year after we planted the garden, Caleb reminded us to pray that God would bless it. Our prayer is for a bountiful harvest, but before that can take place, much work is to be done by the seed or plant in the soil below.
The evidence of God abounds in the earth, and when we consider the job of a plant's roots, it is a reflection of what Colossians 2:6-7 explains as we are rooted in Christ.
The main purposes of a plants roots are:
1. Absorb water and nutrients - This happens when we take in God's Word.
2. Anchor and support - This reminds me that as my faith increases, I am more deeply anchored.
3. Store food and nutrients - This is my "abounding therein with thanksgiving," remaining thankful always and staying spiritually healthy.
4. Reproduce - When I am rooted in Christ, I am bearing fruit and sharing His love with others, that His church may reproduce.
When God is working a revival in my heart, after he has rebuilt my ruins, it is time for me to be replanted and rooted in Him.
