I grew up in the woods of the Ozarks in Southern Missouri. A tree lives with roots planted in the earth and limbs lifted toward the heavens. I too am trying to grow deep roots while lifting my hands toward God.

How's Your Network?

I am not crazy about Verizon Wireless but I do like their commercials. You know, the ones where the person's "network" is always right there where ever they go? Sometimes it is just nice to know who is in your corner looking out for you.

How about this for support? "If God is for us, who is against us?" (Romans 8:32).

Now, what do we have to fear? What do we have to lose? Who is against us that God is not aware of? Unlike Verizon Wireless, there are no "dead spots" and we are never out of range of His help.

The single most difficult part of that passage is really believing that God is for us!

Today, just say it whenever you need too: God is for me.

And then live like it and live for Him. We live because He lives in us.

Even though we have perfect and complete coverage (going with your Verizon analogy) we must pick up the phone and call to get through to the party we are trying to reach.

In other words, we must take the initiative in prayer.
