Steadfast in times of trouble

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2:6-7 

A tree with shallow roots can't survive stormy, tumultuous weather. At the first sign of trouble, it can be uprooted. In the same way, if our faith is in people, the moment we are disappointed, our whole world comes crashing down. This is why it's so important to build our lives on the sturdy foundation of Christ. He'll never leave or forsake us (Deuteronomy 3:16).
