The oak tree is known in many different cultures around the world as a symbol of strength. They are known to withstand incredibly strong storms, like tornados and hurricanes.
In August 2017, when hurricane Harvey devastated towns in Texas and Louisiana and caused catastrophic destruction of lives and buildings, amazingly a 1,100-year-old oak tree survived.
This ancient oak was in the town of Rockport, Texas which was one of the places where Hurricane Harvey made a major landfall. Though the 108 mph winds and more than 40 inches of rain caused great devastations, the 1,100-year-old oak tree was left standing at the Goose Island State Park. This old oak tree has survived many such hurricanes.
Oak trees are globally celebrated for their strength and tenacity. Perhaps the most interesting fact about the oaks is that their root systems will grow to almost the same depth as their height, pushing down as deep as the tree is high, and branching out as wide as the branches! This dynamic strength and tenacity of its root system keeps the oak firmly grounded and stable even in the midst of the greatest storms.
Likewise spiritually, the deeper our roots in God, the greater strength and tenacity we will display when confronted by life’s storms. A strong relationship with God enables us to emerge victorious from trials, tempests and temptations.
A spiritually shallow Christian will find it difficult to stand when buffeted by contrary winds, but with deep root in God, we will always have a testimony of flourishing where others are perishing.
The truth is that the depth of our relationship with God is what makes the difference between victory and defeat; and life and death.
We therefore need to take time to build up inner spiritual strength and power so as not to faint in the day of adversity.
Proverbs 24:10 says ‘, if thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small’.
Building great faith that gives us spiritual establishment is crucial to our success in life.
When our life is built upon the solid foundation of God’s Word, though the storm, rain and winds of life may come, we will survive them all and still stand strong.
Our depth in God will cause us to always break forth to higher realms and enjoy greater dimensions of breakthroughs. Let us therefore decide today to live spiritually prepared through time spent in prayer, in-depth study of the Word and praise. The deeper we go spiritually, the greater the heights we can attain this year. Truly, those who deeply know their God, shall be strong and do amazing exploits.
PRAYER ; Lord Please help me to build up faith and inner strength through storing up Your Word in my heart. Surely this is my season to break forth and soar to my high places in Jesus Name.
