Thought for the Day by Giles Cockman (BH Member)

Picture
​My daily reading today contained two verses from Ephesians 3 16-17. 
16 I pray that according to the riches of his glory he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being
​17 with power through his Spirit and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. 
 
The final words talk about being rooted and grounded in love and this concept resonated as I had been spending all afternoon in the garden, getting some pots ready to transplant new dahlias into. 
 
I was always told that for any young plant to thrive in its early days, you needed to be diligent in cleaning out the pot to get rid of debris of the previous year, put a layer of grit at the base for good drainage and then a layer of compost, finely sieved. Next comes some feed and the plantings, followed by more compost. All this is time consuming and laborious, but it makes a difference to the end result.
 
Parallel this approach to our walk as Christians, and we have a great opportunity right now to spend time in study and prayer with our creator God, to dip into the Psalms, to be fed by good online teaching (I'm a fan of David Jeremiah and his ministry) so that then we can grow into strong, stable and healthy "plants" able to withstand the strong winds, heavy rain or even attack by slugs or vine weevils (aka Satan), during this time of Corona virus and beyond.
 
And, in fact, more that just withstand these trials, but draw daily on God's love and wisdom as we interact with those around us, both those who have similar strong roots, and those who don't, radiating Christ and pointing (others) to Him.
