“Cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.” - Joshua 23:8
How important it is, when the storms of life assail us, to have roots that go deep. God does not promise to shelter us from storms. If He allowed no dark clouds to gather around and no winds to buffet us, would our “roots” ever grow strong? So often it is through adversity that we learn the most priceless spiritual lessons.
We may face times in our lives when the ones we have depended on turn away. The support system we had grown accustomed to suddenly is not there. We feel alone and vulnerable and wonder if we will make it spiritually. With the Psalmist, our heart cries out, “I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none” (Psalm 69:20).
Whatever choices those around us may make, God does not leave us alone. Instead, He is with us, strengthening and supporting us and helping us to cling to Him. His promise is, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5).
The adversity we face today is training us to be strong in Christ. Let us thank God that He is with us, and hold on!
Lord, when it seems that every earthly support has given way and there is little left to stand on, may I find my roots have gone deep and are gripping the Rock that will never give way.
Yours In The Vineyard, Amareno
