Seen in the picture above are the instructions for planting a rose. What is the most important step that the instructions are trying to get across? The key points are to make sure that the rose is buried deeply and securely, locking in moisture. In the same way, our lives need to be buried deeply and securely in Jesus. In Luke 6:47-48, Jesus says, "I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built." When we are constantly in the Bible looking up the promises God gives us, the comforting words he provides for us, the commands he communicates to us, then we are placing Jesus as our foundation. When we are buried deeply and securely in Jesus, then even when our lives seem to be falling apart, he will hold us up. He will give you a peace in the midst of the storm. Don't let your rose simply rest on the surface.
