Being well grounded.

The other day as I was doing my devotions I was really touched by my devotion.  It challenged me!

⁴⁷ As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. ⁴⁸ They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built."


Luke 6:47-48


The Seattle space needle stretches High into the Seattle Skyline some 605 feet. Crazy to think that this building is so tall and in a city that has many earthquakes and it does sway at times, but it is safer then many tall buildings.  While the building process was taking place for this unique buliding. The architects thought that the higher the building is the larger and deeper the base needs to be.  


The Space needle foundation goes in 30 feet deep and and weights 5,850 pounds and has 250 tons of reinforcing steel.  Crazy right? The Seattle space needle withstood an earthquake that was 6.8 and it is not easily swayed when the winds get strong.   


Now take this information and look at spirtually.  How well are you rooted in Christ?  When life throws you some pretty heavy hits, or when you are faced with temptation, or crisis are you easily swayed or are you well grounded and strong and hang on for the ride? If you root yourself in Christs' love and his word and make it part of your daily life you will become so rooted and strong.  Your foundation will go down deep and can stand strong during lifes hardest times. Make sure you are reinforcing your foundation and keeping your eyes on Jesus!  So when those storms do hit you will not be easily swayed or fall to the ground.  Blessings to you all and stay strong and grow and let those roots go down deep!
