Broken
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Romans 11:17-21
Do you feel broken sometimes? Does it feel like your walls of protection are falling down around you, allowing you to be crushed in spirit? If we have accepted Christ in our life, that doesn't mean we won't see challenges where we feel like we are broken. We need to remember that during those times where we feel broken, we are actually being supported by the strongest root there is in our life, and that is our Lord Jesus Christ. He is a loving God who wants His children to love him and grow strong in their faith. That is why he provides a nourishing sap to keep up us from being broken. Listen to what the Holy Spirit guides you to do and don't focus on the brokenness your enemy wants you to feel, but see how the faithful root holds us firmly in our position as followers of Christ.
Have a great weekend.
