Happy Independence Day! Wow, I can’t believe we are already in July. This week is not only the 4th of July but my parent’s anniversary on the 5th. I have always loved the month of July. However, it can be hard to celebrate the holidays when you are going through some trials. The bottom line, being rooted gets you through!
Over the last few weeks, I have been reading about inner strength. On days when I don’t feel good, I pray for God to give me strength.
However, the more that I study the Word of God, I am becoming stronger. The bottom line, being rooted gets you through!
Colossians 2:6-7, “So then, just as you received 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.“
Let’s dissect these verses just a bit. I like the part about being “rooted and built up in Him.” Paul is referring to the inward self. We tend to worry more about our outward self. In fact, we spend more time and money making our outward self look the best but forget about your inward self.
Are you spending time on your inward self?
The more time we spend in the Word and talking to God, our roots become more and more grounded. I don’t know about you, but I want to be grounded in Christ.
Also, having the right mindset will help us get through the toughest of times. I know this one is a tough one. It is so easy to give into the negativity of the world. I catch myself doing this almost every day.
But when we choose to stay positive and joyful, it makes the day go so much better.
Don’t let these challenges steal your joy. Bottom line, it’s important to stay rooted in the Word of God! Because the knowledge that you gain from the Word will make you stronger as long as you apply it.
Friends, I hope that you are spending time with your friends and family today. My husband is actually off today so we will spend time together.
Until next time! Have a wonderful week. I have other blogs if you want to check out my website at kamzinsser.com.
