When Paul and I were out in the desert this past summer, we both noticed this beautiful little yellow flower pushing up from the rocks. It made me think of our walk with Christ. Sometimes in life we go through trials and hardships and face many difficulties, but all the Lord wants us to do is trust Him through it all. If we keep focusing just on Him alone and letting Him nourish us with His Word, He'll bring forth many blessings and will allow our roots to grow deep. It reminds me of this flower. This little flower probably has it hard out there in the desert...the winds, not much soil, and the heat. But God takes care of it and allows its to bloom despite all that could hinder it to grow.
Colossians 2:6-10
"Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been
firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority."
