Look at the large tree root in this image captured by Ray White. Look at all the life around the root. Not only is the tree living and standing strong but also moss and ferns are growing on and around the root.

On this Spiritual Sunday, let’s examine our spiritual roots. The dictionary defines root as “the part of the plant which attaches it to the ground or to a support, typically underground, conveying water and nourishment to the rest of the plant via numerous branches and fibers”.

This morning I ask, where and to who is your root attached? What has you grounded? What holds you down? Does your root system convey life giving water and nourishment to you? The Bible tells us where and to whom we should be rooted.

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:6-7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

On this Spiritual Sunday, examine your roots. Are you grounded in your faith in Jesus? Are you allowing Jesus to nourish, establish and strengthen you? Spend time in worship today “overflowing with thankfulness” to Jesus Christ for His love, strength, guidance and support.
