“Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thanksgiving.” (Colossians 2:7, NLT)
In looking at this verse, it seemed like it needed to be worked backwards. If I want to overflow with thanksgiving, then my faith needs to grow. For my faith to grow, my life needs to be built on Him, and for that to occur, I need my roots to grow deep.
So why talk about roots? Roots matter and I was recently reminded of their importance.
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE for the four reasons roots are important in both plants and in our lives.

What a beautiful concept….headed over now!
I commented over at W2W, but I wanted to let you know I didn’t see a link to that post here. I moused over that section a few times.
Thank you so much, Barbara, as I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. I made the correction and inserted the link.
Out here in the desert, roots are pretty important–they go deep and wide (very, very wide). That always reminds me that I need to dig deep in my Bible as well as read ALL of it, not just my favorite chapters :).
Anita, I love how you pointed out how roots are even more important in the desert. And so it is in our lives as well during those desert times. You bless me, friend!
Roots are so important to ground and centre ourselves. They are reassuring and protective, if one breaks the others still hold us up. Thanks for linking up with #globalblogging
