Rooted In God

When in God we are deep-rooted,
We will truly be sure-footed.
Winds may blow or darkness come,
But we will never lose aplomb.

His confidence and steadiness
Strengthen us with “readiness”.
Our foundation will not sway.
We’ll stand strong from day-to-day,

Knowing that our God is able
To build us up and keep us stable.
Our trust in Him will be our buoy.
The strength He gives will be our joy.

“For the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10 KJV

“Have the roots (of your being) firmly and deeply planted (in Him, fixed and founded in Him), being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving."
Colossians 2:7 Amplified Bible
