How to stand strong during a storm! Jer 17:7-8 (ESV) Blessed is the man who TRUSTS in the Lord, whose TRUST is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, & does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, & is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit. — TRUST! —Eph 3:17-19 (ESV)So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted & grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, length, height & depth, & to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. —Research conducted by University of Florida scientists showed that sand live oaks are the most resistant to wind damage. The root system of the live Oak is deep, wide & lateral. In dry areas, deep vertical roots called “sinker” roots grow from the lateral roots. — The key is a root system that is breadth, length, height & depth, tied to the love of God! Love Mel
