When we enter springtime, all the grass turns green and everything comes alive. However the moment the rains stop, the grass turns brown again because grass has shallow roots. The roots can’t go down deep enough to get water from beneath the ground.
When a plant has shallow roots, it may initially sprout and look good, but it withers quickly and doesn’t last. The same applies to our spiritual life. To be able to grow through any season, we need deep roots.
Luke 8:13 says, “The seeds that fell on rocky ground are the people who gladly hear the message and accept it. But they don’t have deep roots, and they believe only for a little while. As soon as life gets hard, they give up” (CEV).
We develop spiritual roots by having a daily time with God where we connect in a personal way and have weekly meetings with other believers. We’ve got to spend time alone with God, and we’ve got to spend time with other believers.If we’re not spending time with God daily, were going to dry up and blow away when the pressure is on. We won’t be able to handle it. We need to make time to be still before our Heavenly Father and listen . We must read the Bible and talk to God. It is important that we do whatever it takes to keep our focus on our Heavenly Father.
