Rooted Not Grounded
By Mark Flippo
Ephesians 3:17 (ESV)
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
This is a beautiful text of scripture! Here He points out rooted and grounded! They are not the same. Everything in scripture is for us to grow and understand Him better. This photo is a perfect example of the difference. This tree was rooted. You see all of the roots below the grass and soil. It was not grounded. This is the picture God gave me in my minds eye. To be grounded you must have bedrock that the roots grow in and out of. Soil helps you grow but bedrock keeps you from getting blown over. It is your anchor. Jesus is the Rock of our salvation! Get rooted and grounded in Him and you can go through some very serious storms in your life!
